Acclaimed Queer Filmmaker and content creator Yuval David continues his multi-award-winning inventive and groundbreaking ‘One Actor Short,’ in which he unites narrative, documentary, and reality formats to create an unscripted episodic film.
Yuval’s unique approach to man-on-the-street filmmaking showcases his remarkable creativity. He steps into public areas and assembles a diverse cross-section of humanity - all of them strangers – casting them as actors in his film. He creates a safe space for them to be playful and spontaneous on camera.
“Representing diversity in my work happens naturally because I am representing the people who make up our society,” says Yuval. “I have a mission to entertain, uplift and inspire, which goes hand in hand with my mission to use art for social change, whether through inclusivity of underrepresented communities, or in the roles I portray or create for others.”
Yuval starts each production day with a blank slate, not knowing what kind of film will be created, the genre, storyline, or his actors. He directs his film crew and each immediately found cast member through improvised scenes, bringing new characters to life, and eventually creating a film on the spot as the storyline is woven together.
This radically innovative and bold series, which already includes four different short films, including a crime procedural drama, a romantic comedy, a sports film, and an end-of-the-world film – has quickly become an award winner and festival favorite.
