My name is David, and I’m a visual storyteller who makes films and imagery that connects deeply with audiences in their heart and soul. My work centers on bridging the gaps people face when engaging with brands, institutions, and organizations. — heartfelt human feely stuff is my specialty.
At the center of my Chinese name is ‘友’, which literally means friend or friendly— that’s who you’ll be talking with. You’ll be chatting with an introverted Long Islander with a Master’s degree in film, who also loves movies, meaningful conversation, sushi, rice bowls, doodling, and photography. I travel well and am well-traveled, and I continue to be amazed by the oft-ignored subtle things that make people and places special.
Equipped with clever creative intuition, I offer a strong sense of story, a keen eye, a calming presence, and a professional reputation for my ability to dig deep in the feels. My directorial and cinematography sensibilities are strategic and essential in emotionally connecting people to you.
