Bio & background

Piers Dennis is a UK-based director working with Riff Raff Films in the US and UK, with additional representation by Hands. VES Award nominated and Oscar shortlisted, Dennis is known for performance-driven work characterized by emotional intensity and physical storytelling. He has collaborated with British artist Self Esteem (Rebecca Lucy Taylor) for nearly a decade, directing multiple music videos including '69,' 'The Deep Blue Okay,' 'Big Man' featuring Moonchild Sanelly, 'Fucking Wizardry,' and 'The 345,' as well as the 'Town Hall Trilogy' series exploring communal spaces and collective catharsis. His music video portfolio extends to Biffy Clyro ('A Little Love'), Phoebe Green ('Lucky Me'), and BBC Three campaigns. Dennis has directed commercials including work with SoulPancake (Rainn Wilson's production company) and created the short film 'HEAVY, MAN!' His approach emphasizes authentic human expression, often featuring choreographed movement and endurance-based performances.
