Having written about the business side of moviemaking for Canadian trades for almost two decades, David turned to independent filmmaking where he embraced his inner starving artist and discovered the beauty and necessity of Ramen noodles.

Having written and directed the independent feature film, Annual Getaway, David has also written over 30 screenplays for various indie producers. David used the skills he learned as a screenwriter (the ability to watch any hour-long drama, understand the story structure, and ruin it for everyone by easily picking out who the guilty party is) to return to his first love, books.
