David is an Independent Producer, Director and Shooter in Ohio. I've worked in many aspects of video and film production. One day I may be producing/directing, the next day I may be shooting. Quite often it is multiple roles in order to help get the project finished. David's greatest strength is knowing what he should NOT do. With that said... Most of us are Jacks of All Trades in this industry, but I will NEVER accept an assignment that I don't feel I can complete to the level that you and the subject deserves. Let's talk and see what I can get done for you.
