His recent projects include “Deep Blue Sea 3” for Warner Home Entertainment and “Delivered,” a feature-length episode of Hulu’s Into the Dark series, starring Tina Majorino and Natalie Paul.

Previously, Dirk took his love of classic literature and turned it upside down for “Outlander”, a science fiction spin on Beowulf, which starred Jim Caviezel, John Hurt, and Ron Perlman. He co-wrote the 3rd installment of the Underworld series, “Rise of the Lycans” starring Michael Sheen, Rhona Mitra and Bill Nighy.
