Gonna be honest, I don't know how to complete this bio. I've been told that specific language is required to nab the attention of LinkedIn algorithms and AI. I've also been told that personal lingo is better to cut through the noise and express yourself more frankly. So I'll do both...FOR THE HUMANS:David began his career as an intern for Martin Scorsese while studying film at NYU. After graduating he moved to Los Angeles to co-direct CURE FOR PAIN, a feature rock doc that screened at 20+ fests worldwide. The project was repped by the Gersh Agency and distributed by Cinetic. From there he began directing video content, with clients including Google, Red Bull, Vice, P&G, and NBC-Universal. Throughout 2020 he served as a writer/producer on CLOSE UP BY E! – a daily entertainment news series for Quibi (RIP).
