David Scott Leatherwood was raised on the Bearss Orange Groves in Tampa, Florida. When he was seven years old, he saw the blockbuster hit Jurassic Park in the theater, which ignited his imagination to pursue a career in visual storytelling.
In 2007 Leatherwood entered the Bachelor of Fine Arts program at the Florida State University Film School, where he studied under industry legends such as the late Richard Portman, Star Wars, Chip Chalmers, Miami Vice, and Rexford Metz a.s.c., Jaws. While attending FSU Film School, Leatherwood directed Normal Kids, an award-winning documentary about Muscular Dystrophy, The Bubble Bixer 3000, a sci-fi fantasy film that placed in the Cannes Film Market, and The Forgotten Coast, a drama that screened at festivals around the globe. During his time at FSU, Leatherwood also directed the music video for the underground club hit “Punch My Kitty” (2008) sung by New York club kid Glamorous Monique. Upon graduation from FSU in 2009, Leatherwood went on to work as the executive assistant for industry legend Paul Cohen at Red Hills Releasing, where he participated in the marketing and distribution strategies for indie classics such as The Cove, 2010 Academy Award Winner for Best Documentary Feature, and Blue Valentine (Derek Cianfrance). He also attended Sundance film festival with the director of programming Geoffrey Gilmore, and orchestrated the 30A film series with all-star talent such as Stephen Baldwin. After leaving Red Hills Releasing, Leatherwood gained his production chops on several commercial campaigns for corporations such as Brighthouse, Publix, and Sweetbay. He then traveled with the reality television show Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition as a Production Coordinator In the summer of 2010, Leatherwood was hired as the assistant to the CEOs of Alcon Entertainment, Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson (Blind Side), on the production of Dolphin Tale in Clearwater, Florida. After his experience on Dolphin Tale, he was hired to assist Kosove and Johnson on the production of several films to follow, including Beautiful Creatures in New Orleans, Transcendence in New Mexico, and Dolphin Tale 2 in Florida. During this time, he worked directly with industry greats such as Chris Nolan & Emma Thomas, CEOs Syncopy, Aaron Ryder, CEO Film Nation, Erwin Stoff, CEO 3 Art Entertainment, as well as incredible A-list talent such as Johnny Depp, Morgan Freeman, Emma Thompson, Viola Davis and more. Leatherwood also assisted acclaimed writer and director, Richard LaGravenese (Fischer King) through the post-production process of Beautiful Creatures on behalf of Alcon Entertainment, as well as the production of Behind the Candelabra (HBO) with legendary director, Stephen Soderbergh. After Dolphin Tale 2, Leatherwood parted ways with Los Angeles and moved back to Florida where he landed in Orlando working as a digital media producer for Falcon’s Treehouse. It was here where Leatherwood worked with entertainment giants such as Marvel and Cartoon Network and NASA, to produce live action and 3D digital media content for themed attractions for The Incredible Hulk, The Avengers: Battle of Ultron, Adventure Time, and Ben 10 and the Kennedy Space Center. From Falcon’s Treehouse, he moved on to become a 2D Animation Producer at Echo Bridge Pictures in St. Petersburg, Florida where he managed a team of brilliant artists and produced animation for Animation Domination Hi-Def (ADHD) on Fox for shows such as Axe Cop and Major Lazer, the animated series. He also produced spots for TED educational series, and developed pilot concepts for Univision. When Echo Bridge shut down in 2016, Leatherwood reconnected with his old friend and colleague Nathan Morgan to establish Lightning Capital Entertainment, an original content creation company. On behalf of Lightning Capital Entertainment, Leatherwood is committed to creating quality content and promoting the growth of a vibrant and healthy film industry in Florida as an East Coast alternative to the toxic culture of the failing industry in Hollywood. |
