DAVID CHURCH
(Co-Author/Book)
In
his former life as a marketing executive, David helped create
advertising campaigns for Heather Locklear, Sheena Easton and
Cher. He also wrote infomercials ranging from the
sublime (Panasonic's History of Times Square, narrated by Dick
Clark) to the ridiculous (The Magic Twanger... a "Miracle
Putter".) |
For
the theatre, he previously collaborated with James Webber on The
Showstoppers. His children's book, Larue & The
Brown Sky (illustrated by Toby Bluth) was recently
musicalized by the Los Angeles Children's Museum. He has written
the network telefilms Deadly Reunion and Saving Grace
and has a variety of feature film scripts in various stages
of development hell. David is grateful to his family and friends
for their support and to the Nike Corporation for their sage
admonition to "Just Do It!". He is a member of the
WGA and The Dramatists Guild. |
