About David

David Liban is both a filmmaker and a film professor at CU Denver's College of Arts & Media. He is the Chairperson for the Dept of Film & TV. He holds an MFA from Brooklyn College and has been making independent films, in a variety of genres for some years. He's been a Fulbright scholar and a prolific filmmaker of short-form films. His documentary, Mortal Lessons, won a regional Emmy in 2010 and over the years, my films have screened at numerous film festivals and television outlets.

Director Statement
It's not an uncommon story to hear about a filmmaker who spent a decade to get a film made. Not wanting to wait ten years, and having the talent and tools available now, we decided to just go forward and just make the film we wanted to make. We all believed in this project and think that audiences will appreciate what we've accomplished, and the process in which we did it.

I make films because I love the process and the community that evolves around a film production.
