David's short films have been screened in competition at the Brooklyn Film Festival and the Chelsea Film Festival, where his narrative short "Clara"—bridging Holocaust memory and the Syrian refugee crisis—earned critical acclaim. A recipient of the "Artists Rebuild" grant from New York State for his contributions to the arts, David continues to create work that challenges, entertains, and captivates, blending social commentary with cinematic storytelling.
