About Dwayne

Dwayne Gumbs is a writer/director from London who's enthusiastic about telling engaging, compelling and diverse stories. His BFI Network funded short comedy HOLY BEEF, was screened at the BFI London Film Festival 2018 and the London Short Film Festival 2019. This led to him being commissioned by BBC Film to develop an original concept for a feature titled BPM, with this screenplay shortlisted for the 2022-2023 BAFTA Rocliffe New Writing showcase.

Having a passion for the arts from a young age, Dwayne started a charitable organisation called Diverse Voices, that for the past 15 years has been dedicated to making arts based opportunities accessible for all young people. In his role as Artistic Director he has written and directed various educational films and theatre pieces that address hard-hitting topics affecting the most vulnerable young people.

Keen to continue building his professional experience writing and directing, Dwayne’s looking for opportunities to collaborate on other projects, whilst developing the exciting and commercial ideas he has for screen. He was part of the BBC Writersroom London Hub, in which he developed an original sci-fi concept which he's excited about sharing his pilot script with the industry.
