Director Biography

DAVE RAGSDALE
Executive Producer, Additional Story, Director Aerial Photography

At age ten, Dave's love of filmmaking sparked peering out the projection booth window of his mother's single-screen Cinema. The Bijou is where he first learned to splice film, run projectors, and sweep floors while falling in love with filmmaking.

A love that turned into a 20+ year career filming projects of all shapes and sizes for global entertainment and consumer brands, including his debut narrative feature film, Pink Opaque, distributed by 1091 Pictures.

Dave partners with production companies, agencies, film studios, broadcast networks, and digital content creators to nurture productions from initial concept through distribution.

Dave's fiction work for the screen aims to create diverse narratives spotlighting authentically unapologetic characters living through extraordinary circumstances.

Director Statement

Los Angeles is a city of contrast. Palm trees and pavement. Luxury homes shadow the homeless. The famous and the nameless. These inherent contradictions created the friction that sparked Pink Opaque.

Diversity breeds contrast, and we are proud of our incredible cast. In addition to their talents, they reflect the individuals that make Los Angeles a distinctive city. Casting a blend of professional and non-professional actors created a contemporary and authentic portrait of Los Angeles.

Filming occurred in Hollywood, Koreatown, Malibu, Echo Park, Downtown, Beverly Hills, and beyond. Each location painted a distinct visual texture of the undeniable vastness of Los Angeles.

We hope the passion, energy, and dedication of our team to create this micro-budget film inspires those who watch Pink Opaque get out and do the same.

Life is never a clear path. At the end of the day, all we can do is keep moving forward.
