David Patrick Pabian

Born in Hollywood, California and raised by animator parents, David necessarily viewed life from angles slightly askew. A writer from Day-1, he amused and outraged with his stories, and generally skidded through school by turning all assignments into creative writing exercises. Later, in he majored in Film, and mastered the basics of motion picture production, winning several scholastic awards with his stop-motion animated films.

After some years in a tool belt at the phone company, David became a story analyst at United Artists Productions, soon being promoted to Story Editor for that studio's low-budget division, then moving to a Creative Development job at Gale Anne Hurd's production company.

Having completed several screenplays during his tenure in development, he was hired by a production company to do some rewrites and three original projects, all of which were produced and released. He signed with a top script agent and began getting assignments with Disney, Sony, Columbia, Universal, and a number of independent production companies and directors. He also continued as a freelance analyst and editor, working privately with individuals on their scripts, novels and memoirs, and ghostwrote for a few celebrities. His work is represented by both script and literary agencies.
