Meet David Ezell, 
Camelback Films CEO

David Ezell is a Manhattan-based writer, actor, entrepreneur, and licensed psychotherapist. He grew up in rural Georgia and, as a boy, played in the yard of Flannery O’Connor’s family home.

 

As an adolescent, he acted professionally in theater and television until his early twenties. He then pursued an academic path that led him to the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he studied film history as a doctoral student, and Columbia University, where he became a licensed psychotherapist.

 

After many years in private practice, he returned to acting in 2018 and trained at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting. He later studied with master teachers including James Price, founder of The Acting Studio, and legendary acting teacher Jack Waltzer. His creative work often explores identity, memory, performance, and psychological fracture.

 

His play The Great American Scream Machine was produced as part of the SOOP Playwriting Competition’s Top Twenty selections. He is the co-founder of Camelback Films. Occam’s Beard is his narrative film debut.
