David Boyd has been working in the industry since his first credited role as a camera assistant in 1979. David chats with Matthew Toffolo about his career, starting as a Focus Puller on multiple independent films in the 1980s. He then moved on working for Union productions (NYPD BLUE, PRIMAL FEAR), before starting his Director of Photography career in the 2000s (FIREFLY, DEADWOOD, WITHOUT A TRACE). Then in 2007, Peter Berg hired David to DP the pilot episode for the new TV series FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, as Berg liked David’s “rogue” style. Mid-way through season 1, David directed an episode and it was then his new career started. Since then David has directed multiple television series episodes, including THE WALKING DEAD, LONGMIRE, and THE NIGHT SHIFT.
This is a special podcast interview. David Boyd is an exceptional storyteller and his journey through the industry is a masterclass of working in the film industry and staying true to yourself.
