David Webster: From Small-Town Theater To Netflix (Interview)

Send us Fan Mail

We sit down with actor and filmmaker David Webster to trace how he goes from small-town theater in northern Ontario to professional sets, and why he keeps chasing both craft and community. We talk film school, experimental film, writing, and the on-set realities behind Netflix-scale projects versus passion shoots.
 
 • getting discovered through local theater and early auditions 
• using film school to meet collaborators and learn production skills 
• learning from experimental film and treating art as experience 
• writing huge concepts early then pivoting to tight feature scripts 
• choosing passion projects for the teamwork and creative agency 
• martial arts background, stunt awareness, and safe choreography
