About David

Producer/Writer/Director. I am the first producer in the United States to successfully raise money with Equity Crowdfunding for a feature length narrative film. We raised over $1 million in 6 months for our comedy "I'll Be Next Door for Christmas," and shot for 20 days in February of 2018. The film was released for the holidays in 2018. I am giving a seminar on exactly how we raised the money in November 2019.
