Copywriter and filmmaker, David Rakowiecki started in advertising writing
award winning TV spots for major brands including Heineken, Amstel Light, Sprite and Converse. He found advertising creatively unfulfilling
and turned to writing screenplays.
He has attended NY
Film Academy, where he wrote and directed the shorts
The Bottle and Five Cent Refund.
After NYFA, he
wrote and directed an Olympics-themed commercial for Heineken that was recognized in the New York Times and
took lessons in guerilla improv technique at
Upright
Citizens' Brigade Theatre in New York.
David
created the film Spoiler Alert, which is a black comedy about
Brad, the operator of a movie scoop website and Harrison, a down on
his luck film director who has squandered his artistic abilities in
pursuit of easy paydays.
