Hello there! My name is David, and I am a New York-based filmmaker and writer/director whose work centers on character-driven storytelling and explorations of the human condition. Known for a thoughtful and heartfelt approach, a musical sensitivity to pacing and rhythm, and a gift for capturing emotional subtext, my work often feels like they tap in to the human soul. I draw great inspiration from everyday observations and my curiosities about humanity’s idiosyncrasies. I was raised on movies, and I hold a Master of Fine Arts in Writing and Directing cinema from the Rochester Institute of Technology, so if your love language is movies, I’m with you. 

Throughout over a decade and a half as a visual storyteller, the type of projects that I make range from documentary-style to scripted narrative. I will often employ my love for stills photography as a way to visualize a project, facilitate inspiration, as well as document projects. Some might classify my skillset as hybrid or multi-hyphenate, while I view this diversity of skills as an adaptable toolkit in service of vision. I’ve found that ability to navigate breadth and depth are necessary to reach new heights. 

How can I be of service?

Bonus Features, like how movies on DVDs/BluRay use to have: I love good stories, meaningful conversations, tea, sushi, rice bowls, a good bagel, doodling, and street photography. And there’s something about a thick slice of butter-griddled Japanese milk toast with a little smear of jam that is just the best.
