MEET THE TEAM
DOMINIC DARE
Native Brit Dominic Dare has been at the forefront of the international stock footage business for over 20 years. Most in the industry know him for his integral part in transforming London's International Television News archive (ITN) into an international behemoth, eventually relocating to the United States in the early 1990s where he created and led their entire North American outlet. Focusing primarily on network-level deals for stock footage, ITN Source gradually became a powerhouse in the clip content world with exclusive contracts for ITV clips, Reuters and Fox News, amongst others. In 2012, Dominic came back to the footage industry and was hired by Zodiak Media to launch an archive outlet for the thousands of hours of their produced content. In 2015, he and his London partner, Sandra Coehlo, left Zodiak to form their own unique transcontinental clip agency -- LOLA Clips -- Sandra remaining in London, and Dominic staying in Los Angeles. LOLA Clips has been one of the few footage agencies to pioneer filming bespoke footage through drones and now LOLA is one of the key footage agencies in the business representing ITV Archive, Al Jazeera, ABC Australia, Euronews, STUDIOCANAL and many more. LOLA has offices in London, Los Angeles and Sydney.
