YOUNG FILM DIRECTOR, CINEMATOGRAPHER AND PRODUCER
At only 18 years of age, his debut film, “Narušitel„(Eng. title “Intruder”), was released in Czech cinemas. At that time, David Balda was the world’s youngest film director to ever have a full-length feature film released into the cinema or onto Netflix. Now, the young director has begun his second film – this time expanding his audience by aiming for world cinema and featuring an international cast. The premise of the film deals with the looming threat of an omnipresent threat of manipulation.
WITH PASSION FOR FILMMAKING
Even though he is a part of the generation born on the verge of the millennium, he has already managed to establish himself on the film stage. The first movie achievement of David Balda, was an independent mid-length movie called ‚Pomsta‘, that won many awards in the independent films category. It interested the Czech Television enough to put it on regular broadcast.
His full-length debut was in 2019 with a movie ‚Narušitel‘ dealing with army pilots during the era of socialism and their craving for freedom. The movie gained success not only in the cinema but also in the prime time of the FTV Prima and VOD platforms with Netflix at the head. Moreover, Balda is also shooting music videos.
