David Lombroso is a filmmaker and screenwriter whose work mines the humor and heartbreak at the intersection of identity, inheritance, and modernity. As a 2024 Fellow of the Jewish Writers Initiative, David developed his latest feature script, Perpetuity, a Catskills-set horror film that satirizes the insidious spread of fascism. His debut feature, On Such a Dark Night--a doc-style tragicomedy about a Jewish family at war with itself--is slated for production in early 2026.
​
David's short films have recently screened in competition at the Brooklyn and Chelsea Film Festivals, and he was a finalist for the 2023 Sundance Screenwriters Lab. A recipient of the "Artists Rebuild" grant from New York State for his ongoing contributions to the arts, David continues to create work that challenges, innovates, and entertains.
