Much like his enigmatic Irish homeland, David’s modern aesthetic is melded with a heritage of storytelling; a superposition of style that draws viewers in with evocative imagery, deft emotion, and thoughtful narrative.

​

Born in Paris and raised in Dublin, at age 15 David started out as a runner on the set of Braveheart. His first directing project, a Super-8 music video shot while still at high-school, aired extensively on MTV.  Upon graduating the National Film School of Ireland with Distinction, he moved to London. After several years editing commercials, working as a photographer, fine artist, and directing broadcast investigative documentaries, David left the grit of London and Dublin made his way to California where he established himself as a director with wit, elegance, and visual charm. He has won many awards for his work, including a Kodak award and a Guinness World Record.

 

David’s directorial style blends the humanity of observational documentary with the boundless imagination of cinematic storytelling. His approach is characterized by a flair for kinetic storytelling, finding beauty and narrative depth through indirect and unexpected jumping-off points for stories and character. His work, whether abstract or forthright, is always imbued with thought-provoking depth, heartfelt emotion, curiosity, and excitement.

David now divides his time between Portland and London, directing commercials, brand content, impact films, and short narrative
