About me
Hi, I'm David, a writer, director and editor, specialising in character-driven narratives.
My work has received recognition for its impactful and stylised touches, infusing emotional depth into storytelling.
In 2017, I ventured into writing and directing fiction. My debut short film, 'A Modest Defeat', earned global awards and was an Official Selection at two Academy Award-qualifying festivals, before receiving over six million views online.
I began my career in post-production at the BBC before moving to directing for MTV and branded projects. Since then, I've collaborated with leading agencies such as AKQA, Mother, MullenLowe, Ogilvy, and Saatchi & Saatchi, working with some of the world's most iconic brands.
