i really root for David he seems genuine and talented and humble, hard working and giving his sense of humor is weird and funny😂 i hope he gets a good partner in scripts and editing and dp with those combinations I'm sure he will be a legend and he will be an aspiring legend , because he's so open with his skill, not like spielberg or villeneuve, they seems very high in the sky
