Hello! I'm
Sean David
I’m a NYC-based Production Lead who keeps complex projects on track while letting creativity thrive. I manage budgets, schedules, and teams to bring branded content to life, and I’ve also produced across film, television, photography, and live events. I enjoy finding the balance between big-picture strategy and day-to-day execution to make every project run smoothly.
Real American Hardwood
Agency Producer / Line Producer
I managed locations, budget, crew, schedules and liaised between Production company and Agency. We ambitiously filmed 5 vignettes across 2 days, using 3 unique locations, 9 talent, 1 dog and 2 sheep.
reMarkable
Line Producer / Producer
I produced 3 films for the 2022 content series for the reMarkable paper tablet. We filmed 1 day in the Denver/Boulder CO area, and 2 days in the Palm Beach FL area. We filmed with real user-influencers in studio and on-location.
Hurley e-Bikes
Producer
Titled "Super Swell", I produced and location managed this spot, where we traveled from Coney Island to Bear Mountain State Park, tracking 100 miles of the e-bike's journey on a single charge.
"This is Life, with Lisa Ling" S8
Production Manager
Handled all pre-production coordination and management for crews in the field including Covid safety protocols. Managed field production all over the US, including: Albuquerque, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, Las Vegas, San Jose, Austin, Washington DC, Tucson, Detroit, and Chicago.
Sean David
In the Spring of 2009, I got hired as a Production Assistant on a music video shoot because I answered "yes" to the question "Can you drive?" I grew up in the suburbs, so sure, I can drive. When I showed up to set in Financial District (Manhattan) that night, the Producer handed me the keys to a 20' cube truck where the priceless camera equipment would go, and told me to park it. I had never driven a cube truck before, nor had I ever driven in Manhattan. I was new to the city, and didn't have a GPS or smartphone. My rate for that 12+ hour overnight shoot was $50 flat. I completed the job without incident, and went on to work for that Producer for the next 10 years.
​
Saying "yes" a lot early on in my career allowed me to gain a wide range of experience, across different types of productions. I'm most naturally skilled in production operations - timelines, budgets, resource management - and am most experienced in branded content.
​
I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Whether you're a potential collaborator or potential client - feel free to reach out for a chat!
​
I currently live in Westchester with my husband, and when I’m not working, you can usually find me playing volleyball, learning Spanish and Dutch on Duolingo, or sampling my way through the area’s vegan bakeries.
