HOLLYWOOD
has a unique allure. For David, it was not acting, but filmmaking
that next caught his interest. Taking a ground up approach,
he earned both Sag and Aftra membership, then moved back to
the area he was strongest in: Art. As a result, he spent a
large part of his adult life on sound stages and sets as a
production designer and prop
master. This put him in the enviable position of being
able to learn from the best. He quickly acquired skills in
lighting, videography and editing. This led to his producing
numerous independent shorts, comedies, dramas and documentaries.
As the internet bloomed, David's attention was drawn more
and more to this new medium that was becoming a meeting point
for all these experiences. He quickly mastered the various
tools, software and combined these with his artistic skill.
