About
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit-Just kidding.DAT Media LLC (stylized as DAT.media) is a disregarded entity run by the highly regarded entity known as David Austin Thompson.He has 11+ years of experience creating visual stories of all mediums for audiences, clients and businesses alike.He's been a creative director, post-production supervisor, lead film editor, assistant editor, food delivery driver, VFX artist, motion designer, writer, DIT, senior VFX editor, cinematographer, drone operator, dailies operator, data wrangler, editorial supervisor, producer, content strategist and chief list-maker.These days, he's able to bring his diverse skillset to creative and commercial projects both locally and around the globe with the help of his team.His roots in film and media begin in the Ojai Valley, CA. During his time working in the film industry in and around Los Angeles, David called the town of Ojai his home for many years.David has worked on a wide variety of content while wearing a variety of “hats” in the film industry (Visual Effects Artist, Film Editor, VFX Editor, Assistant Editor, Dailies Operator, Colorist)David has worked on Marvel films (Black Panther, Venom 2, Ant-Man and the Wasp), Music Videos (Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Travis Scott) and multiple Independent Features/Documentaries, to name a few.After writing, producing and directing his short film “Long Distance” in 2019 and his feature film,“OJAI” in 2020, David began taking on multiple remote post-production jobs, and soon realized that he could work for Hollywood and his freelance clients while living literally anywhere in the country.So, eventually, he found himself in Virginia. He relocated to the foothills of the beautiful Appalachian Mountains in Bristol, VA. The move not only brought David closer to his East Coast friends, family and industry connections, but it allowed for him to branch out from his hometown and share his expertise with an even greater clientele.
