Biography

The following is a comprehensive and detailed account of the life and accomplishments of a remarkable individual, encompassing their formative years, significant milestones, and lasting impact on their respective field or community.

David Thies, an exceptionally versatile and accomplished individual in the realm of film and television production, has spent the past two decades dedicating himself to a multitude of creative and technical endeavors.

Throughout his illustrious career, David has worn many hats, including those of producer, director, cinematographer, and provider of production services, lending his expertise to hundreds of television episodes, films, documentaries, music videos, commercials, and corporate and product pieces.

As the founder and proprietor of his own production company, TVACOM, David has successfully navigated the complex landscape of production, deftly balancing the demands of operating both a production company and a production services company, a feat that few have achieved with such sustained success over the course of two decades.

As a testament to his unwavering dedication, unshakeable work ethic, and unbridled passion for the craft, David Thies has built a reputation as a true Swiss Army knife of film and television production, a versatile and reliable professional who can adapt to any situation, tackle any challenge, and consistently deliver high-quality results.

David's approach to the business stands out for its singular uniqueness, as he eschewed traditional industry norms by never having worked under the employ of another production company. Rather, he made the bold decision to relocate from Cincinnati to Los Angeles, armed with his own innovative vision for how to operate a production company. This entrepreneurial spirit was further exemplified by his decision to purchase all necessary gear and equipment upfront, a move that has had a profound impact on the success of his endeavors.

David's dynamic career trajectory is marked by versatility and a relentless commitment to excellence. As a multifaceted professional, he is capable of spearheading a wide range of projects, from feature films with esteemed Hollywood producers to interview shows featuring influential pop culture icons, as well as music videos for emerging artists.

David's pivotal role in the making of "The Peanut Butter Falcon" was a crucial factor in the film's successful realization. As the first producer to become involved in the project, David provided the initial financial backing and production support, thereby setting the wheels in motion for the production to commence. The vehicles and cameras supplied by TVACOM were the first to be utilized on the set, and David even went the extra mile by offering his personal residence, as well as his own body and well-being, to the project. His unwavering commitment and perseverance ultimately paid off, as the film has garnered widespread critical acclaim and commercial success.

David's professional journey underwent a profound philosophical transformation with the conception of "The Peanut Butter Falcon". This pivotal project marked a significant departure from his previous approach, as he sought to establish a more personal stake in the creative process by acquiring ownership in the projects he undertook. The film presented him with the ideal opportunity to actualize this aspiration, allowing him to exercise his creative vision and artistic agency in a meaningful way.

As a lifelong admirer of the classic coming-of-age tale "Stand By Me", David had always harbored a deep desire to craft a similar cinematic masterpiece. "The Peanut Butter Falcon" proved to be the perfect vehicle for him to realize this ambition, as it offered him the chance to infuse his own unique perspective and sensibilities into the narrative, thereby creating a distinct and memorable cinematic experience.

TVACOM will persistently strive to work on a diverse array of projects, encompassing high-octane extreme sports productions, heartwarming family shows, and engaging interview programs.

David is actively engaged in crafting custom-built trucks designed to facilitate multi-camera, multi-track production for seamless live broadcast and versatile recorded applications. His ultimate objective is to create projects that offer him a tangible stake, whether in the realm of film, factual television, or scripted television.
