David Shulman is a BAFTA and TV Academy Award winning documentary filmmaker. Originally from New York City, David moved to London in 2000 and by 2005, became one of the few Americans to gain a staff position as a producer and director at the BBC where for 10 years he produced science, history, and arts programs.
David conceived the format for the long running TV series Rough Science which was produced for the BBC in association with Open University scientists. It became the most successful and acclaimed science series in Open University history and is distributed globally.
A graduate of the NYC School of Visual Arts, as an artist and early experimental filmmaker, David has long been driven by a passion for social justice and a deep curiosity about how cognition and social systems work. His earliest experimental films which focused on linquistic dimensions of memory and consciousness were exhibted at the Whitney Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the New Museum, and were distributed by Castelli and Sonnabend Galleries.
David has made acclaimed feature documentaries about racism in Network news coverage of urban violence (Race Against Prime Time, PBS), the pivotal role of Black landowners in Mississippi during the civil rights revolution of the 1960’s (Dirt & Deeds in Mississippi, Smithsonian Channel), stories of resistence inside Nazi concentration camps (Auschwitz Untold: In Colour, History Channel), and a recently completed feature doc about digital art on the blockchain (NFT:WTF?)
