David didn’t always dream of a career in film. In fact, he once had plans to join the FBI. But a chance opportunity led him to the entertainment industry, where he found himself working on films like Return of the Jedi, Poltergeist, Mrs. Doubtfire, Milk, and The Matrix Reloaded. His journey from aspiring federal agent to trusted film crew member is both inspiring and eye-opening.
