David Brotsky

I am a location scout and manager, production manager, and producer. No matter what the task or the project, the bottom line is that I produce timely results. The first film I worked on was a 1930’s period piece directed by Tim Robbins called Cradle Will Rock. With over 80 locations, and days with sometimes 500 to 1500 extras, each having to get through proper hair, makeup, and wardrobe, and working 15-20 hours a day, 5-7 days a week, it proved to be a challenging first experience. The second film I worked on was Woody Allen’s Sweet & Lowdown, another period piece with over 80 locations. Then came two other period pieces (including Cameron Crowe’s Almost Famous). Then many more locations, many more projects, including consulting for commercials, music videos, and special events. The journey never ends and I feel blessed to have worked and collaborated among so many talented and in some cases, legendary, people. Whether hiring me to be a part of your production, or allowing me to use your location for a shoot, you will not be disappointed.
