Recommendations
Dave is a tremendous resource onset. Beyond his valuable skills as a gaffer, he is a team leader and a key player in our team's success. As a bonus, he's just a pretty great guy to be around.
What to say? A perfect professional, chill as can be and just on it. He didn't put up walls or skew things his way. He worked with my DP and myself to put craft our lighting and our look in a very crunchy timeframe. An artist; a workhorse and now perhaps, a friend. Good time with Goodman Grips!
David and his G&E team are true professionals and great people! He was willing to work with us on our specific needs and was flexible on getting it done. I would highly recommend working with David for all your G&E needs, including finding the right team and gear - LA is full of the rights stuff (like David) but also the wrong toxic stuff, so having a well connected, positive, talented guy like David on your team is a must!
Attitude and enthusiasm are everything! Well, almost. Because there is nothing like killer skills and deep experience too. If you are searching for help here you already know what I mean. To greet someone you've never met at the beginning of the day, anxious that you are going to have the help you need, and instead find that not only does the day go smoothly, you end up laughing throughout and having a lot of fun, well, what more can you ask for? David is the guy you want (as well as anyone he brings along)! You couldn't do better. His experience is deep and his eye is incredible! Just check out his website. He will for ever more be my first call the next time I'm in the City of Angels. Thank you David!
As a producer coming from the East Coast, I need quality crew I can trust during travel. So glad I hired David! He's now my go-to grip/gaffer when in the state of California. David is professional, strategic, and fun to work with. Highly recommend!
I hired David for a video shoot in my home, and not only did it look absolutely beautiful on film, but he was SO much fun to work with. David's expertise, and willingness to jump in wherever needed is a godsend! I am so grateful to have found him... He is my go-to from now on for video shoots. I highly recommend David to anyone who is looking for someone with his skill set for their project (s). You won't be disappointed!
