David Lombroso is a writer and filmmaker whose work explores the cost of moral inheritance within tightly bound communities on the verge of rupture. His practice draws from a tragicomic lineage of Jewish storytelling, and is shaped by sustained immersion in movies as a maker, curator, and organizer.
​
Lombroso’s work has received development support from the Jewish Writers Institute, where he wrote the feature-length horror script Perpetuity. His recent short films have screened at the Brooklyn and Chelsea Film Festivals, and his screenplay Thanksgiving was a finalist for the Sundance Screenwriters Lab.
​
Earlier in his career, Lombroso co-produced the scripted feature Like Lambs, and distributed the feature doc Oriented through an impact campaign that brought the film to over 100 communities worldwide. Lombroso also founded and helped run Cinema Club, a nomadic screening series dedicated to short films from emerging filmmakers, which ran monthly for over a decade.
​
On Such a Dark Night, his first feature as writer/director, is slated for production in April.
