David Priest
Soon after David Priest (director, camera, editor) began his career in the 1980’s, he became a key player on hundreds of productions ranging from short films to documentaries to corporate messaging. Keeping on top of quality storytelling and messaging is equal to his attention of using appropriate technology for each project.
His passion for film history began as a young child growing into an extensive knowledge of filmmaking and its evolution. This passion has not wavered and he shares this knowledge with other film enthusiasts through presentations as well as being a mentor. In 1993, he and Brenda Rundback started Shadow Play Films. Production has provided them opportunities for exercising creativity and ingenuity, learning about a vast array of topics and national and international travel.
Some of the national and international, network prime-time broadcast credits for David and Brenda at Shadow Play Films, while working with Grizzly Adams Productions, include: 52 one-hour episodes of Encounters with the Unexplained, along with 25 one and two-hour specials such as: Breaking the DaVinci Code; Portrait of Courage; Heroes Among Us, Miracles Around Us. Plus 32 additional broadcast shows with other producers including the documentary Change the Heart, Change the World.
