Background

Born to Irish parents, he grew up a big fan of cult, alternative movies.[17] 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.[18] 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".[19] 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".[20] He also contributes as a columnist for Copenhagen Post newspaper, often detailing the challenges of making independent movies.[21][22]
