David Roth Weiss
COW member since April 16th 2001 from Los Angeles, Movie Capital of the World

David Roth Weiss is an independent producer, director, editor, and a leading industry consultant based in Los Angeles. He is a veteran of the motion picture and television industry with a broad range of creative and technical expertise and experience that includes film and television, documentaries, and corporate communications.

David’s professional credits include feature films, commercials, broadcast documentaries, network sports and promos, medical videos, and reality TV series. His award-winning documentary films have aired on National Geographic Explorer, Discovery, PBS, and the BBC. In 1983 he founded David Weiss Productions, Inc., which is still going strong today, specializing in High Definition post-production and complete film and video creative services on historical, political, and environmental documentaries; corporate communications; as well as technology-related consulting and problem solving.

David produced, directed, and shot the 1987 oceanographic documentary, An Incidental Kill, which received the prestigious Genesis Award from The Fund For Animals and also won Best Professional Film at the International Wildlife Film Festival in Montana. An Incidental Kill was also one of the first films featured on Discovery's Shark Week, and scenes from the film can be seen on permanent display at Disney's Epcot Center, Seaworld, and Marineland.

David's favorite recent project is RUSH TO WAR, a feature-length documentary he edited, about the war in Iraq and the history of American foreign policy.

David's passions are historical, political, and environmental documentaries; true crime; his dogs Willie and Augie; and, of course, his golf game. David plays golf to a 5-handicap, so consider yourself warned.
