1st/2nd Assistant Director • Line Producer • Location Manager • Production Coordinator • Production Assistant
Hi, I'm Dave Palazzolo, a freelance filmmaker with hands-on experience across a wide range of film and media projects. From narrative shorts, to branded content, to an original movie musical, I'm known for strong leadership, clear communication, and a highly collaborative approach to production.
I’ve always been drawn to the behind-the-scenes side of storytelling: the planning, problem-solving, and teamwork it takes to bring a project to life. That passion led me to pursue a degree in Film & Television at Columbia College Chicago, where I’ve specialized in managing on-set logistics, coordinating crews, and keeping productions on time, on budget, and running smoothly.
Currently based in Los Angeles through Columbia’s Semester in LA program.
