About David Freedman

I have much varied experience of production management and am looking to gain more junior PM or production coordinator experience on high-end productions. Most recently I've worked as a production coordinator in unscripted factual for Caravan Media on upcoming doc Holocaust: The Full Picture (Dir. Nic Young) for the BBC. In 2020 I production managed £2M Sci-fi horror feature The Seed (Dir. Sam Walker), for Camelot

I have much varied experience of production management and am looking to gain more junior PM or production coordinator experience on high-end productions. Most recently I've worked as a production coordinator in unscripted factual for Caravan Media on upcoming doc Holocaust: The Full Picture (Dir. Nic Young) for the BBC. In 2020 I production managed £2M Sci-fi horror feature The Seed (Dir. Sam Walker), for Camelot Films / Hardman Pictures, backed by Ingenious Media and Lipsync Post, bonded by Film Finances and distributed by Shudder. I studied filmmaking at London Met and production management at the National Film and Television School where I was a Sargent Disc Scholar. I have line produced micro-budget features, including Homeless Ashes (Dir. Marc Zammit), an award-winning drama which had a market screening at Cannes, theatrical release with Everyman Cinemas and was picked up by Indie Rights. Under the Radar (Dir. Simon Frith), a biographical doc about actor Mike Edmonds (Time Bandits) features interviews with Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin and Colin Firth and was selected for Film London Breakthrough Screenings. Both films premiered at Raindance 2019. Also, in 2019 I was selected for the BFI Network x BAFTA Crew talent development programme. I've also had much experience on high-end productions putting my production background to good use as a Covid Supervisor for The Walt Disney Studios, including on Pinocchio (Dir. Robert Zemeckis) starring Tom Hanks, and seconded to Lucasfilm, Indiana Jones 5 (Dir. James Mangold), starring Harrison Ford. In 2022 I was made a member of BAFTA as part of the BAFTA Connect initiative.
