Freelance Director, Photographer, sometimes DOP or just 'Filmmaker' for short. David works across advertising, branded, documentary and scripted.

He’s also a represented long form Writer/Director developing stories for Film and Television.

David has had a diverse career which provides a rich tapestry of life and creative experience. This influences the work he creates everyday. As an ex. electrical engineer/project manager he broke into the Stills world in Europe on long service leave and never looked back. Following the death of his sibling he created is first short film 'The Darkroom' willed into being as pure catharsis - became a festival success and the flashpoint of David's fervent pursuit of film. Since then he has sold a feature film script to a major Hollywood studio, continuing to work in LA as a writer (looking for that long form directing break) while being based in Sydney in advertising and sharpening his skills through continually being able to be on set.

In the last little while - David has directed 40+ minutes of drama written by NIDA for their new product 'Prologue' as well as Directed and Photographed for DNSW on their first Luxury tourism ad, and worked for director Sam Mendes’ (1917, Skyfall) play 'The Lehman Trilogy' just to name a few.

A diverse group of previous clients he has worked for includes Emirates, Nike, DNSW, Olympus, LG, Samsung, NIVEA, Sydney Dance Co, The Sydney Opera House and more; he can't wait for that next challenge - executing the next story you want to tell.
