சுயசரிதை
David studied Fine Art at Chelsea School of Art, during which he traveled extensively across Southeast Asia and filmed his graduation project, The Sakkudei, on Siberut Island. After college, he created a series of documentaries for the National Gallery in London before pursuing a career as a freelance film and video editor. He served as senior editor on Channel 4's inaugural series of The Word and edited documentaries, music videos, and concert films for artists such as Blur, Oasis, The Traveling Wilburys, Eurythmics, and Take That. Later, he attended the National Film and Television School to study directing, graduating with the award-winning short film The Cold Earth, an English Civil War road movie filmed in the Black Mountains, Wales.
David has consistently been drawn to issue-driven drama, directing Life for Daniel (BBC4), a story about a mother's fight to control her child's medical treatment, written by Rebecca Hughes. He also directed episodes of Judge John Deed (BBC1), written and produced by G.F. Newman and starring Martin Shaw, as well as episodes of StarStreet, a children's drama series for Carlton, and the Channel 4 documentary Living on Water, which he also produced.
In 2007, David worked as second unit director and editor on Clubbed, Formosa Films' debut feature. Following his successful collaboration with producer/director Neil Thompson on Clubbed, he co-directed Twenty8K, a thriller written by Jimmy Dowdall and Paul Abbott, starring Parminder Nagra, set in London's East End, and produced by Martin Carr.
He lives with his partner and son aboard a Dutch barge on the River Thames.
