David Findlay

Originating from Quebec City, David's early ambitions of excelling in snowboarding were abruptly halted by an injury, redirecting his path toward filmmaking. He quickly made a name for himself in the field, assembling an impressive portfolio that spans short films, commercials, branded content, and music videos, each marked by his distinctive storytelling approach. His work delves into the depths of human experience, artfully merging the boundaries between fiction and reality while capturing the intricate details of relationships and life's fleeting moments.
