What We're About

Hey World, I'm Daven and I'm the director and one of the writers of Typecast.  I've spent the last 3 years working in New York City's film industry in various roles from Boom Operator to editor.  I'm finally producing my first short film!  It's not easy making it into show business.  It's hard to make a move that isn't lateral and if your'e not careful, you'll get stuck in the same position/role for YEARS (typecasting happens to crew too!).  My main motivation for doing Typecast is providing an avenue for both the cast and crew to express themselves creatively and hopefully get them noticed for their extraordinary talents.

Why We Need YOU!
