IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Dennis Williams II is a writer and director who first studied theatre as a playwright in college before his early writing role for Funny or Die.

In 2020, Dennis was chosen for Vanishing Angle's Short-to-Feature Lab for his film Clout. Along the way, notable names like Russell Westbrook and LVRN have tapped Dennis to direct their narrative films, including the film Dear Brodie and RACE, which premiered at the 2023 Atlanta Film Festival.

Dennis cut his teeth coming up in the NYC film festival track. His background is a large engine behind the stories he enjoys telling: character-driven thrillers about the underdog.
