Mick McAvoy: Producer of "Killing Escobar";
"I had the pleasure of working with David on his brilliant Killing Escobar film. In the face of many challenges, such as filming teams of actors in the jungles of Colombia during a global pandemic and having to track down and interview contributors who were on Witness Protection, David produced an exceptionally well-crafted, insightful and action-packed documentary. David is exceptionally hard-working and is intensely dedicated to his craft. He is one of the best Directors I have ever worked with and he is brilliant at getting the best interviews from contributors. I enjoyed working with David and very much hope to work with him again in the future".

He has a fantastic technical knowledge and brings a lot to every project. For Boardwalk he has directed projects both in the UK and across the globe and his experience in shooting overseas was invaluable. No request is ever too much trouble and you can trust David to deliver a creative project on time and on budget."
Colin McKeown, Exec Producer, LA Productions (BAFTA & RTS Winning Producers); "I can whole heartedly give my endorsement to David Whitney. I first came across his work when it was brought to my attention by a BBC exec..... On the basis of this I commissioned David to work on a number of dramas my company have produced which have been done at low budgets, tight schedules and he simply always come up trumps. I wish him all the best with his future endeavours and I'm certain he would not let you down."
