David, originally from Providence, RI, is a versatile filmmaker who moved to L.A. to pursue a career in acting, directing, and producing. His journey began with his debut film, Silent (2014), which screened at Warner Bros Studio and at several festivals, sparking a passion for storytelling behind the camera. In addition to producing the docu-series Mary Bee’s Finding Harmony, David also contributed to the acclaimed music documentary Straight Into A Storm, showcasing his commitment to documenting real stories and authentic voices.
In 2024, David directed his first short film, an achievement that expanded his creative repertoire. He is also co-producing and co-starring in an ambitious Victorian period drama series, collaborating with talented partners Ursula Rudorfer and Brooke Hamrick. Alongside these projects, David works as a photography assistant for Dev Weekes and as a production assistant for The Table Read Podcast produced by Jack Levy (Outlander, Mr. Robot), where he continues to hone his skills in media production and project coordination.
David’s well-rounded expertise extends beyond filmmaking; as a skilled guitarist, he’s performed with artists like Chloe Agnew and Deer Tick, underscoring his dedication to a multifaceted career in the arts.
The passing of my Grandfather during the covid pandemic compelled me to explore the generational bond between a grandparent and grandchild. Sometimes bonds like these need a catalyst before real connection can occur beyond familial love. I also wanted the opportunity to showcase a combination of a few of my favorite filmmaking colleague's talents. Felisha Wong's beautiful, grounded acting; Shelby Patton's jaw-dropping skills as a makeup artist; and Spencer Selover's eye for photography was my dream ensemble of cast and crew.
