David Meier Smith

David Meier Smith was born on Nov 21, 1968 in USA. David Meier Smith's big-screen debut came with Possessions directed by Brooks Deetsch in 2015.

David Meier Smith was born on a military base at Fort Riley, Kansas in 1968. He was not there long before being brought back to his family's home in Louisville, Kentucky.David is an avid fan (atic) and collector of the cinema-fantastic on VHS, Laserdisc, DVD and Blu Ray: Sci-Fi, Horror, Fantasy, and Erotic. This obsession is one that he no doubt got from his father, with whom he watched many movies whilst growing up. With his father, he saw in the theater, Conan The Barbarian, Alien, Excalibur, The Road Warrior and, of course, the original Star Wars. At home, they watched Errol Flynn movies, Sherlock Holmes, Flash Gordon and Star Trek, were members of the Science Fiction book club and subscribers to Heavy Metal Magazine. All of this shaped David's personality and made him who he is today. He now watches many of the same films with his own son, Cameron. Not content just to watch movies, David really wanted to make them.David has been lucky enough to have a friend with whom he made his first film, Blood Oath, a retro-styled slasher film with a supernatural element which was released on the Troma label. David shared his love of movies with the students of St. Raphael School in Louisville by teaching an after school enrichment in film studies. The students learned about filmmaking, the history of films, and then participated in making short films. He also worked with students to make a film about safety at school for the Catholic Mutual Group's Safety in Schools Video competition, for which they were runner up in the competition.
