My name is David Astermun.
I work with stories where scale meets presence.
Human-first, emotionally precise.
Form matters only when it carries truth.
Everything else is noise.
I'm drawn to reality, to what stays when style fades.
Cinema, for me, is a way to face life, not escape it.
My work includes short films and a feature film currently in development.
But the real work is the path
building a language where image, rhythm, and silence say what words cannot.
