Hi I'm David. I have been a 1st AD for over 15 years on commercials, promos, films and HETV from filming monsters in remote parts of Iceland to blowing up ballerinas in Hungary.
I have experience with big action sequences, complicated car shoots, big crowds, volume stage, helicopters, horses, huge VFX sequences and of course rats.
Working with high end talent from Uma Thurman to Justin Bieber, Gordon Ramsey to Gary Oldman on products from Bridgerton to Walkers crisps and Harry Potter to Audi. Every project is new and unique and offers the chance to learn something new everyday.
With my vast experience I bring a calm to any set and try to provide everyone with an enjoyable atmosphere to make the best product possible.
