In 2019, David founded Independent Filmmaker Day (“IFD”). Independent Filmmaker Day (www.ifilmday.com) is a film/tv conference that champions the independent filmmaker. We feature panel discussions on a variety of topics in the film/tv industry, and also feature Expert Roundtables, an After-Party, and a Pitch Competition where the winner receives over $40,000 in in-kind services. The panels feature a variety of discussions on film/tv topics by providing practical, real-world advice from those who are part of the filmmaking process. This includes Actors, Directors, Producers, Distributors, Marketers, Lawyers, Musicians, and Executives. Previous panelists include: Richard Dreyfuss, Ice-T, Jason Alexander, Tony Shalhoub, Lou Gossett, Jr., Graham King, Bruce Cohen, Harry Lennix, Catherine Curtin, Thomas Jane, Yvette Nicole Brown, Mark Damon, Mark Koch, Kelly Jenrette, Tim Daly, and more! We now have over 700,000 followers on Facebook - more than 99% of all film festivals world-wide. By comparison, the Tribeca Film Festival only has around 350,000 followers and TIFF has only 250,000 followers. We are a great venue to promote projects.
