Director Biography - David Doran

Some background on the production: I filmed parts of "No More Questions" in February 2023 and the rest in July. I used my phone to record and my friends as actors, and edited it on iMovie. I also used GarageBand and my Fender guitar to create the music for the film. In other words, I tried my best to do a lot with a little.

The film underwent quite a few narrative changes throughout its making; for example, originally there was supposed to be multiple characters being interviewed before I settled on just one. I used the same main actor as I had for my film last year as well as new actors. Some takes I had meticulously planned out, and others were essentially improvised on the spot. I worked hard when editing to ensure everything was cut as authentically and believably as possible.

The film contains themes and ideas that I based off my own personal experience as well as other people I know. I hope that by watching this film, you learn something new about people or about yourself, or at the very least you feel something. The way I look at it, if that happens then I have succeeded as a filmmaker.

Again thanks to all the cast and thank you for watching.
