Hello! I'm
Sean David
I'm an NYC-based Producer with expertise in Production Management and Line Producing. I've worked in film, television, commercials, photography, events, and most notably - branded content. I approach each project through both micro and macro lenses with a natural knack for Production Operations.

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've lived and worked in NYC since 2007. When I'm not working, you'll likely catch me playing volleyball, learning a language, or watching RuPaul's Drag Race.
