David Costa
Development Producer
I design production pipelines — from films, podcasts, and digital media — manage resources, and translate creative ideas into deliverable content.
Based in Madrid, Spain.
Available for work.
About me.
David Costa here. I'm building my path in production, aiming to make films that work as well on paper as they do on screen, balancing creativity with strategy, budgets, and logistics… and still figuring out how to make work feel more like a movie set than a desk job.
Now that you’re here, have a peek at a few other things I’ve tried my hand at.
