Director Biography - David Machado

After finishing high school, I wandered aimlessly for a year in a social program in college with a future seemingly bleak. Instead of doing my homework, I flooded my time with watching films of every kind. When I watched Sam Raimi's Evil Dead for the first time, I finally got the inspiration I needed to go forward with a career as a filmmaker.
