David Caffrey, a native of Dublin, embarked on a film and television career, initially taking on various production roles for low-budget movies under the guidance of the renowned Roger Corman.

He then went on to direct the comedy feature ON THE NOSE, starring Dan Ackroyd and Robbie Coltrane, for Subotica/Universal, as well as GRAND THEFT PARSONS, starring Johnny Knoxville and Michael Shannon, for Swipe Films/Lionsgate.
Since then, Caffrey has alternated between commercials and television drama, with the latter including the pilot and two episodes of LINE OF DUTY for BBC/World productions, Pilot and five seasons of LOVE/HATE for RTE/Octagon, and LUCKY MAN for SKY/NBC Universal.
Recent projects include the pilot and five episodes of PRIME SUSPECT 1973 for ITV/NOHO, as well as all episodes of the Bafta-winning Season 4 of PEAKY BLINDERS, starring Cillian Murphy, Paul Anderson, Helen McCrory, Adrien Brody, and Tom Hardy, for BBC/Tiger Aspect/CM Productions.
