Name:  David Field

Origin:  Georgia, USA

Profession:  Photographer/Director

Currently Residing:  New York, NY

How you got your start:  After graduating from Savannah College of Art and Design, I worked as studio manager for Joyce Tenneson. I gained access to a free shooting space on the weekends at the Polaroid studio in Soho which allowed me to build my portfolio and my professional career launched from there.  However, in a way I consider every moment my "start" because there are always new challenges.

Best gig so far:  At 24, I landed an international advertising campaign for Pioneer Electronics via the agency TBWA/Chiat/Day LA.  If there was ever a time that I thought I "made it,” that was it.

What's next:  I'm currently finishing post production for my breakout film, "Caterpillar."  It's a cerebral thriller/drama with some influence from directors such as David Cronenberg and Darren Aronofsky.  Making a film has been the most creatively fulfilling experience of my life.  It's encompassed every aspect of my artistic training- creative writing, drawing storyboards, sculpting props, photography, music, etc.  I have heard it said that if Leonardo da Vinci were alive today, he would be a filmmaker, and I believe it.
