Biography

David Bruckner is an American film director and screenwriter. He got his start with the first Transmission of The Signal, a science fiction horror triptych, which explored themes of paranoia in mass media. Originally produced for under 50,000 dollars, The Signal premiered at Sundance in 2007 and went on to score a nomination for the “Independent Spirit John Cassavetes Award.” David went on to create notable contributions in other anthologies, including the Amateur Night segment of V/H/S (2012), The Accident segment of Southbound (2016) and an episode of the TV adaptation of Creepshow (2019). His first solo directed feature film, The Ritual, based on the novel by Adam Nevill, premiered at TIFF in 2017 and was released as a NETFLIX original in 2018. The Night House, his second solo directed feature film, premiered at Sundance 2020 and was acquired by Searchlight Pictures.
