David Boyle

David Boyle’s been deep in the trenches of Hollywood’s legal jungle for over three decades. The guy’s basically a Swiss Army knife for indie film folks—production companies, money guys, creative types—he’s wrangled contracts, closed deals, and probably seen more bizarre industry drama than most of us could even imagine. You want someone who knows how to keep a project from crashing and burning before it even gets off the ground? Yeah, that’s David. His firm’s not just some cookie-cutter legal shop, either. They’re in the weeds on every part of the filmmaking grind. We’re talking from those caffeine-soaked brainstorming sessions in development, all the way through to the marketing circus when the film finally hits theaters (or, let’s be real, your favorite streaming service). Development, production headaches, last-minute financing panics, distribution nightmares—he’s been there, done that, probably has the T-shirt. People in the biz call him when things get complicated. Like, “our financier wants out,” “the distributor’s playing hardball,” or “the script’s got more red ink than a graded high school essay.” He’s the guy behind the curtain making sure the show actually goes on. If you’ve watched an indie film in the last twenty years that managed to punch above its weight, odds are good David or his crew helped untangle the mess behind the scenes. Basically, if you’re trying to actually get a movie made, and not just talk about it at brunch, you want David Boyle in your corner.
