Background
Background
Born to Irish parents, he grew up a big fan of cult, alternative movies. A spec screenwriter for many years, recently he has got more and more involved in the other processes of filmmaking including acting, shooting, editing and directing. The micro-budget movie Last Exit was his feature debut; very much an underground/exploitation movie and he admits, “not for everyone”, proved a surprise critical and financial success for such an experimental little movie and was distributed worldwide. After gaining more experience directing short movies and commercials, David’s second feature film released as writer and director the edgy retro-thriller "No Right Turn". His new film Bakerman is currently on a film festival tour with several official screenings already in 2017. Bakerman was developed from one of his previous projects called "White Pig". He also contributes as a columnist for Copenhagen Post newspaper, often detailing the challenges of making independent movies.
