HOW WE WORK

David’s Commitment to Authenticity Brings Your Story to Life

David brings a lot to the table as a film consultant. Above all else, he aims to bring authenticity. This is what separates bland, mass-produced media from powerful, character-driven narratives.

Authenticity means:

  • Ensuring every legal scenario, courtroom dynamic, and character interaction mirrors true-to-life situations, not worn-out TV tropes.
  • Basing character development on how prosecutors, defense attorneys, law enforcement officials, and suspects think.
  • Avoiding sensationalism and ensuring every episode, scene, and line of dialogue reflects a deep understanding and respect for the law and its complexities.

But why is authenticity so important?

Because genuine storytelling resonates. It’s the difference between caricature and character, between stereotype and story. David’s commitment isn’t just to the letter of the law, but to its spirit. It’s about ensuring that characters feel real, that courtroom dramas are not just thrilling but truthful, and that audiences leave not just entertained, but educated.
