David T. Ragsdale
Founder, Creative Director
At the age of eight my passion for filmmaking was sparked peering out a projectionist booth window...
— It’s been a lifetime of learning and growing.
David grew up acting, writing and directing from grammar school through college. His passion to create and years in the theater exposed him to the subtleties of character development and narrative structure.
David’s career in content production started literally from the ground up...
"I had a three legged desk. You had to do it all, no departments, no second chances, just long, hard hours."
David has been trusted to create for many of the world’s most prestigious brands. It’s his integrity, creative instincts and tenacity that set him apart.
"It’s a blessing to have clients that are such household names. I work with the absolute top players in the game..."
David produces and directs using a variety of creative media including film, video, animation and emerging technologies.
David’s unique vision for branded content and solid storytelling fundamentals make him one of the most versatile directors in the market.
