    — Mark Foligno, Producer (Freud’s Last Session, The King’s Speech, Moon, Legacy Of Lies)

  • “David’s particularly good at finding the truthfulness of an actor’s performance, with an intuitive feel for timing and understanding the depth of what a scene is really about. With equal dexterity he can build tension, cut action sequences or command an audience’s attention in the softer moments.”

    — Nick Nevern, Director (Rise Of The Footsoldier: Origins // Vengeance // Retribution)

  • “Working with David on the edit for Kindling’s trailer was a truly collaborative and creative experience. He gauged instantly the tone of the film and worked tirelessly to ensure that this was implemented into the trailer in all aspects; song choice, edit and feel. We would work with him again in a heartbeat.”

    — Connor O'Hara, Director (Kindling)
