David Kittredge

David Kittredge is a director, editor, writer, producer, and all-around cinema geek living and working in Los Angeles, with occasional time spent in New York. He spends way too much time reading about HDR cinematography and post-production workflows, waxing poetic about Lost Highway, Dressed to Kill, The Red Shoes, Lawrence of Arabia, and Exorcist II: The Heretic—and explaining why Sensurround was actually pretty cool.

In 2025, David’s latest documentary, Boorman and the Devil, had its world premiere at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival. The film is now receiving its national theatrical release, in theaters across the United States.

In 2015, David edited 54: The Director’s Cut, which premiered at the Berlin Film Festival. This new and vastly different version of the 1998 film features 44 minutes of footage not seen in the original theatrical release. The project took six months to recut, restore, and reconstruct. David also produced and edited the behind-the-scenes documentary If You Could Read My Mind, which appears on the Blu-ray and explores the process of creating the director’s cut.

In 2009, David wrote, directed, and co-edited the award-winning feature film Pornography: A Thriller. The film screened at more than 25 film festivals, winning multiple awards before its U.S. theatrical release. It is now available on DVD, VOD, and Digital HD.

In addition to writing, producing, directing, and editing hundreds of promos, sizzles, commercials, branded-content pieces, online projects, and interstitials, David has worked with networks including NBC, AMC, TBS, FX, FXX, Versus, Logo, USA, Showtime, Bravo, IFC, Disney Channel, Sportsman Channel, and SundanceTV.

David has also written and directed two award-winning short films that screened at dozens of film festivals: Fairy Tale and Target Audience, the latter of which was a Teddy Award nominee at the Berlin Film Festival.

David lives in Koreatown, Los Angeles, with his dog, Jackson. He works out a few times a week, still listens to Nine Inch Nails way too loudly, and strongly questions why anyone would ever attempt to remake Videodrome.
