FILMOGRAPHY


Screenwriting at Slamdance, 2001, Guest Lecturer at San Diego State University Graduate Film Program, 2001 and 2002, visiting festival representative (for AFI) at Hot Docs in Toronto, 2000, Flickerfest 1998 in Sydney, Australia, speaker at the UCLA Professional Producers Workshop, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and Cerritos College School of Film and Television.

For the past two years, Mr. Cole has served full time as an Executive Consultant to the American Film Institute where he is in charge of business planning and design implementation for "The AFI Silver, Theatres and Cultural Center." This exciting new complex in Silver Spring, Maryland, just six miles from the White House, will be the flagship for AFI's expanding film exhibition and education programs nationwide. In addition to the many business and management functions he performs, David is overseeing the production of a documentary on "The Making of the AFI Silver," as well as planning a slate of films and video series to be produced by AFI at the new complex over the next several years.

When his work at AFI is completed David hopes to return to writing and producing on a grand scale.

Writer-Producer David A. Cole holds a Master of Fine Arts degree in Film and Television Production from Chapman University and a bachelor's degree in Theater Arts from the University of California at Santa Cruz. Prior to becoming a filmmaker, David spent twenty years as a professional business consultant in Los Angeles, California, specializing in complex real estate development transactions and the cleanup of oil fields. During those years, he studied film and wrote feature scripts in his spare time. From the intermarriage of his skills in commerce with his love of writing and film, a producer's career was born.

In 1994, David incorporated Visionary Dreamscapes Entertainment ("Visdream"), an independent production company. He is currently the president and CEO of Visdream where he has developed and produced several short films and documentaries, and a feature length romantic comedy entitled ,Just Add Love. The film stars Wendie Malick (Just Shoot Me, Dream On, The American President) and Richard Eden (Santa Barbara, Robocop, the Series). Visdream's current projects include, Mary's Run, a feature based on the true story of three of the most powerful women in U.S. history; A Star Away, which is a science fiction action adventure currently under consideration for production in Queensland, Australia, and The Mumble Bees, an animated tale of life in the garden.

David lectures on Screenwriting, Business and Legal Affairs, Production Management and Independent Feature Film Development at universities and film festivals around the world. In addition to writing his own works, David enjoys helping others as a "script doctor" and consultant. As a producer, he insists on working closely with the original writers whenever possible.


David has served on film juries ranging from the 20th International Festival du Film Independent, in Brussels, Belgium, to the Method Fest in Pasadena and Sidewalk Fest in Birmingham, Alabama among others. Lectures and seminar appearances include: Panelist in
