I write stories that keep me awake at night.
David Teixeira is a portuguese filmmaker who was born in France. In 2016 he decided to go back to Bordeaux and he started to write, produce & direct his first horror short-film GIRLS NIGHT. GIRLS NIGHT was selected to film festivals such as Video Nasty Film Festival in Seattle, Stockholm Independent Film Festival and Midsummer Scream Film Festival in LA and has received the honourable mention at the London x4 Seasonal Shortfilm Festival.
David wrote and directed GIRLS NIGHT 2 in 2017, which is a direct sequel of GIRLS NIGHT and he edited both shorts together bringing life to GIRLS NIGHT - ANTHOLOGY: now available online on Amazon Prime.
After working with his friend Lea N’Kaoua for her demo reel as a circus dancer, he decided to work again with her on a horror project called OUROBOROS which came alive on a collaborative state with N’Kaoua. The horror short was shot in two days and was an intensive and rewarding experience.
After OUROBOROS, David and Lea teamed up again for MANNEQUIN (a body horror experience about beauty and how it affects women in society).
In 2019, after working on MANNEQUIN, Lea wanted to explore the OUROBOROS monster character even further, so they both decided to work on a new project called MATER, which is a prequel to OUROBOROS.
Both projects were edited together featuring a new score by THE TH3RD and new scenes and different cuts called IN UTERO. IN UTERO is now available on Amazon Prime.
In the end of 2019, David worked on an ambitious project called PLAY. PAUSE. KILL. where he explored the slasher genre within feminism. The film came out in 2020.
During the COVID-19 lockdown, he wrote and directed a wild mini short film called VISITEUR.
In February 2021, David decided to come back to his roots with GIRLS NIGHT and wrote a meta livestream short film called STREAM.
