Dr. David Layman is an award-winning filmmaker, composer, and innovative artist based in South Florida. David's career spans multiple creative domains, including music composition, visual arts, and AI-driven film production.
David's unique approach to filmmaking is deeply rooted in his extensive background as a composer, where he has honed his skills in narrative storytelling through music. His work has been recognized internationally, with his short film "Space Altar" being selected for the First Film International Festival in Tallinn, Estonia in 2024.
David is known for his ability to integrate abstract elements into his work, creating a visual and auditory experience that challenges conventional perspectives. His recent foray into AI-generated art has led him to develop a new visual genre he terms 'generative impressionism,' where AI-produced 'hallucinations' are embraced as deliberate narrative tools.
As a filmmaker, David strives to create works that are visually stunning and intellectually engaging, encouraging audiences to view the world through a different lens. Whether through the haunting, ethereal scenes of his latest short film or the rhythmic intensity of his original compositions, David's work consistently seeks to push the boundaries of what is possible in film and music.
