dave mercuri · denverI'm Dave Mercuri, a producer, writer, and director in Denver. I spent twenty years running aerospace programs where failure wasn't an option. Now I bring that to sets, where it mostly still isn't.

dave mercuri · denverAbout
Here's what twenty years in aerospace actually gave me: I know how to keep a hard project from falling apart, and I know that the plan exists to protect the creative, not to replace it. Passion turbo-charges every skill you have and every one you haven't learned yet. I'd just rather it not also have to cover for a missing schedule.
Who this is for
You have a vision, and you want someone to protect it from the schedule.
You only care about the number. Or you only care about the shot. Those two end the same way.
