David Austin Thompson

David Austin Thompson is the founder of the boutique production/post-production studio Ojai Picture Company. 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: Let There Be Carnage, 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, he chose Tennessee and relocated to the foothills of the beautiful Appalachian Mountains in Johnson City, TN. The move not only brought David closer to his East Coast friends, family, and industry connections, but allowed for him to branch out from his hometown and share his expertise with an even greater clientele. David and the team at Ojai Picture Company bring their expertise to creative projects both locally and around the globe. Whether it’s your next film, commercial, music video, or social media post, you’ve found your home at Ojai Picture Company.
