David Freedman

 Who is David Freedman?

David is either a writer who can draw or an artist who can write... well, type.

He started his career as a stand up comic & BBC radio presenter ... and eventually combined comedy with cartoons, and fell into the world of animation... well, tripped.

Fifteen years later and he's never looked back, apart from right now to type this brief bio in the third person.  I... er, David has written, co-written (He was in a 9 year prolific writing partnership with Alan Gilbey.)  developed and script edited a lot of cartoons. 

David works as a script doctor, show runner and is a very busy voice director. Essentially it's all the same. David collaborates and helps fix things so they are funny or funnier. Or just work. A bit like Abe Burroughs, but in Animation.

David has won and helped others win a crowded mantelpiece of awards including some BAFTAs and two Oscar nominations.

With dual citizenship, he has had the good fortune to work for clients on both sides of the pond, such as Aardman, BBC, CiTV, Disney, E1, Fox, Sony, Universal  and was Senior Manager of Global Original Programming for Disney Channel.

 

What is David doing right now?

A)  Directing Groove High (both the live action and animation) for Disney Channel. 

B) Doodling up a Lamington greeting card.

C) Working on a new animated feature film.

D) Wishing he had time to properly update his own website.
