About

Hi, I’m David Ullman, a filmmaker and musician based in Minneapolis. I create documentary and narrative work that blends sound and image to tell intimate, human stories, and I frequently take on writing, directing, editing, and production roles to shepherd projects from concept to screen. I’m drawn to collaborative, community-oriented work and enjoy partnering with universities, arts organizations, and local talent to bring creative ideas to life.

Beyond film, I perform and contribute to soundtracks and composition, including work with The Ullman Boys and other projects noted in my filmography. I’m passionate about storytelling across media, from short-form interactive pieces to feature-length films, and I enjoy mentoring others, sharing skills, and contributing to vibrant arts communities at the University of Minnesota and around Minneapolis.
