Artists Series | David Webb, First Assistant Director | ARTISTS EQUITY

David Webb is one of the most sought-after first ADs in the film industry, but he’d originally planned on becoming a war correspondent. While seemingly distant careers, there’s a thread that ties his initial journalistic ambition to the films that he’s built his career on including; Argo, Good Night, and Good Luck, Milk, Da Five Bloods, and Joker. These are films with important social messages, depth of political meaning, and a director with ‘a vision worth following.’
In this episode, David shares how he chooses the directors and films that he works on, the key to being an excellent first AD, and his most memorable experience in filmmaking. For aspiring filmmakers, he also speaks to the process of preparing to shoot a film with directors like #MartinScorsese and #BenAffleck.
Our #ArtistsSeries features creatives from across the industry, highlighting the roles and people who make it all possible. We’re focusing on sharing a wider view so you can experience the full picture. #ZoomOut
