LORENA DAVID - Producer

As an astute film lover, director and producer, Lorena David has come full circle in 2000. After acting as a producer on Kingsize's early projects, including PLUMP FICTION, she went on to direct BRAVO, A FRIEND COMES TO VISIT and (just this past spring) EASTSIDE.

For POOR WHITE TRASH, she once again assumes a producer's role. She continues a streak of success, with BRAVO and FRIEND making the festival circuit. BRAVO premiered in March 1999 at the East Lansing (MI) Film Festival. A FRIEND COMES TO VISIT appeared at the 1999 No Dance multimedia/film festival in Park City, Utah, last January and won the Digital Breakthrough Award. FRIEND also screened at the Hollywood Shorts Festival and the Gen Art Summer Festival.

"I learned a lot from all of my recent projects," David says. "I looked forward to putting all of my experience as a director, producer and film editor to work on our biggest project to date. We have worked hard with Michael Addis to make this film happen for the past year, and we are proud that this film soared beyond anybody's expectations."

David began her film and video career at the University of California at San Diego (UCSD), where she supervised the production of four short films serving as President of UCSD's Hardcore Films. After relocating to Hollywood, she sharpened her skills through opportunities to line produce a feature (THE GLASS CHAIN) and a television pilot (WRITER'S BLOCK). As a co-founder of Kingsize Entertainment, Lorena served as a producer on several feature films (PLUMP FICTION, SINGLE ACTION) and television series.
