His 2022 film Taylor, directed by Isaac Tomiczek and written by Annie Rowe, tells the story of a bullied teenager finding empowerment through boxing. It won Best Performer awards for Bobby Stallwood and Dudley O'Shaughnessey at Brighton Rocks and Best LGBTQ at London Rocks, among others.

Dom’s latest project, Chasing Adonis, written by and starring Micky David, alongside Eliza Butterworth and Danny Mahoney, delves into themes of body image, self-worth, and mental health. Directed by Tom Gordon, the film follows the protagonist’s journey as he grapples with societal expectations and internal struggles while pursuing his dreams in a world that often values appearance over substance. Chasing Adonis is poised to make its mark on the festival circuit, offering a powerful narrative and strong performances that highlight both personal and universal experiences.
