Our Founder

David Ezell is a Manhattan-based writer, actor, and successful entrepreneur. His play The Great American Scream Machine was selected as one of the top twenty productions in the 2024 SOOP Playwriting Competition. Recognizing its cinematic potential, David partnered with lead actor Harry Cooke to adapt the work for the screen. In late 2024, they co-founded Camelback Films to bring the project to life and to launch a slate of psychologically rich, character-driven films. As a result of his demanding acting career, Mr. Cooke left Camelback in December 2025; his influences continue to be felt each day. 

Drawing on his entrepreneurial experience, David brings a strategic, results-oriented approach to the company’s creative and business development. Most recently, his screenplay Occam's Beard, has won multiple awards around the world, including Best Screenplay at the Big Apple Film Festival and the Austin International Screenplay Awards.
