In Frame #2 - David Djaco

The Matria Rentals team sits down with filmmaker David Djaco for an in-depth conversation about his industry experience. From working as a freelance grip and gaffer to pursuing a career as a director, David discusses honing his craft and finding his unique voice. His portfolio features a variety of intriguing films that blend offbeat human drama and surrealism, including titles such as Stranger in the Park, Happy Birthday Corey, Desperate Youth Fourth Dimensional Babes, and his upcoming film, Hello to Your First Day, Goodbye to Your Last. We delve into his writing process, his experience in the writer's room, and his collaborations with other screenwriters, highlighting his journey to becoming a skilled storyteller. Djaco has been a collaborator and friend of the Matria team since their film school days at SVA. The conversation goes beyond filmmaking, touching on the highs and lows of freelancing and navigating a competitive industry yet always staying true to his vision and himself.
