About David

Director of Photography / Filmmaker

I create cinematic documentary style stories to help social businesses bridge profit and purpose.

DAVID WOO, Cinematographer | Filmmaker – After several years working as an in-house videographer, editor, & colorist in Tokyo, Japan, David moved to Los Angeles, California, and established his own company. He has an extensive background in documentary-style visual storytelling, first as a photojournalist, then later on as a cinematographer for documentary, narrative, and commercial projects. In his career, he has worked with high profile brands such as Toyota, Sony, LO’real, Green Peace, as well as hard-working, family-owned stores. The human condition can be tough sometimes and it’s important that brands work together with grassroots organizations and individual good-doers to help create change. Believing that stories can inspire a kinder, gentler world, David uses his expertise to craft intimate, story-driven films to help social businesses bridge profit, purpose, and compassion.
