David L. Williams is a British film director, writer, and producer living in London. An active film campaigner in Rwanda (Genocide) and Liberia (Deforestation), his commercial work with the UK production house Shooting Pictures has led to collaborations with comedians including Dom Joly, Russell Brand, and Alistair McGowan. His debut cinema feature, the Arctic comedy Beyond the Pole, was his first attempt to fuse comedy with his campaigning work and was supported by Friends of the Earth.
