On leaving drama school in Bristol, David became the youngest director in the BBC making documentary series such as THE SHOCK OF THE NEW  (voted one of the fifty top tv programmes ever made by The New York Times) and THE CELTS collaborating closely with ENYA who wrote and performed the music for the series as well as working on two music videos with her. More recently he turned his talents to drama, starting on EASTENDERS and moving to HOLLYOAKS SPECIALS, DOCTOR WHO, Paul Abbott’s BAFTA winning SHAMELESS and a feature length DVD released by Momentum Pictures. He has also directed a NO.1 pop video and has worked with actors as varied as Dame Judi Dench, Tom Baker, Caprice, David Threlfall and David Jason. He’s  teamed with  writers from Robert Hughes to George MacDonald Fraser to Clive Barker. He has been nominated for many international and national awards including an Emmy, a Bafta, and six nominations for The Soap Awards at which he won ‘Spectacular Scene’ and ‘Best Episode’. David directed the ‘commercial’ to accompany Richard Hamilton’s ‘The Critic Laughs’, now owned by The Tate Modern – probably the only commercial in the world to be owned by an art gallery! He has a genuinely unique imagination, tremendous visual flair, and is a strong performance and action director. David has worked with the BBC, Granada, Time Life Films, HBO, FR3, and LWT. As well as directing David has also produced several drama & documentary series. Currently deveoping a novel by Joanne Harris author of ‘Chocolat’ starring Johhny Depp and Juliette Binoche and ‘Contessa’ an contemporary update of ‘The Count of Monte Christo’. When he’s not directing he’s usually fencing in a shameless attempt to emulate Zorro!
