About me
WHO?
Hi! I am David Painter. I am a freelance Writer, Director, and Photographer based in Denver, CO.
WHat?
In 2022, I graduated from the University of Denver Magna Cum Laude with Phi Beta Kappa, double majoring in Film Studies & Production, and English with a concentration in Creative Writing.
My work as a writer & director has been recognized around the world. From countless film festivals, to official Heartland EMMY recognition as a Student Production Award recipient for the Fiction Short Form/Long Form Category from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
Why?
I have over a decade of filmmaking experience - from small business videography to large scale event and commercial productions. I’ve undergone a long journey of different storytelling mediums: from starting filmmaking creating superhero adaptations, to writing fictional short stories, to even singing on stage in musical theatre. Through it all, I found that film had never really gone away. It was then that I realized that I didn’t just want to tell stories, but I needed to.
My writing and direction create meaningful stories that don't present all of life’s answers, but instead ask different questions.
