Director
David Michael Maurer brings two decades worth of editing and storytelling experience to the Director's Chair.
His background studying Meisner Technique with Andrew Benne, story with Robert McKee, and working with some of the top writers and directors in Hollywood has given him a confidence and calmness on set that makes productions run smoothly.
Actors trust Maurer with their performances in post. In production, he works to create a safe space for them to do their best work.

AVATARI: High Like This (Music Video) COMING SOON
AVATARI (Ari Welkom) plays all of the roles in this dynamic music video for his song "High Like This". The low-budget video had almost 80 setups filmed in just 2 days with a tiny crew. Maurer carefully curated and planned variable audio and picture speeds to allow for lip sync to remain true in slow motion, normal speed, fast motion, and hyper speed seamlessly between the set and post production. The result is both fun and disturbing.

AVATARI: Superhuman (Music Video) Watch Now
A love letter to 1980's cinema. This music video combines vfx, hand and rod puppets, bmx bikes, headbands, and aliens! Collaboration with the team at Swazzle.com
