Kia Ora, I’m David Lepper — the guy behind the camera. Thanks for stopping by.
I grew up in New Plymouth, New Zealand, and from the moment I picked up a camera at eight years old, I was hooked. Filmmaking quickly became more than just a hobby. It turned into a lifelong passion for capturing real stories and bringing them to life on screen. Throughout high school I was constantly making films (and even picked up a few awards along the way), which cemented my love for storytelling.
That passion led me to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from Victoria University of Wellington, and eventually to launch DL Productions, a creative studio built around the simple idea of connecting people through film.
Today, I’m based in Los Angeles, working with clients to craft stories that feel authentic, engaging, and visually powerful. Whether it’s a small, intimate project or a large-scale production, I’m always excited to collaborate and bring ideas to life. And if the story takes us somewhere far from home, I’m always ready to travel.
