David Sigura is a 25 year old actor-filmmaker living in Los Angeles, CA. Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, David's passion for acting emerged early on and he participated in a number of theater productions. After a hiatus to help the family business and finish his education at the University of California, Santa Barbara, David committed to the entertainment industry full-time. In his spare time he loves to play guitar and take his friends to the latest and greatest fried chicken spots. His favorite films include There Will Be Blood, The Favourite, and The Great Dictator.
Salvatore Frederick is a 23 year old filmmaker who grew up in Williamsport, Pennsylvania and is a 2019 graduate of the film program at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. "Sal" grew up ingesting cinema; constantly watching films and creating his own. He is an avid fan of animation and has experimented with stop-motion. In his spare time you can find him hosting movie nights in the middle of the woods for friends. His favorite films include The Iron Giant, Me, Earl & The Dying Girl, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
In the summer of 2018 we met in an artist co-operative consisting of 30 constantly-rotating occupants; a living situation that offers little stability. Against all odds, a friendship has formed that has proven itself time and time again, and has morphed into a complementary working relationship.
Hide and Seek is a story about coming into your own. Sometimes you are thrust into uncomfortable situations and you wish you could retreat into an eternal place of comfort. But by seeking discomfort, by putting yourself in a place of vulnerability, you are able to truly unleash the potential you have inside. We learned this by choosing our fortuitous living situation, and we hope to carry this message with us for the rest of our lives. Thank you for reading, and we hope you enjoy!
