Read our interview with David where we learn about his:

- inspirations
- motivation for transitioning from live shows to television
- inspiration for the screenplay
- thoughts about scripting movies and live shows
- his next project
Last week, KOP and I had the good fortune of attending the premiere of "Switched
at Death," David Merry's first feature film.
I always enjoy being in a movie theatre full of the creatives who made the
film. We eavesdropped a little on the conversation in the row behind
us. Not surprisingly, the cast member in question had only wonderful and
glowing things to say about David!
My thoughts:
-
The movie featured a talented cast (main characters were played by
Alex Kolanko, Meeland Nicola, Jamie Sherman,
and
Lawrene Denkers). We were particularly impressed with Jamie's portrayal of his character "Saul."
- The score was beautiful! (Fifty-nine original pieces by Carlos Lopes.)
- Director of Photography was the talented Jason d'Souza, who some of you may know from his Noodle Boys days. (This was also Jason's first feature film!)
- If you're truly eagle-eyed, you'll catch David's cameo in the film! (Sadly, we missed it.)
- The script has beat after beat of solid David Merry comedy! (Don't laugh too loud or you might miss the next joke!)
- The plot kept us guessing right up until the very end! (Well done David, Marty Putz, and Cathy Merry!)
- All in all, KOP and I were very impressed with David's first feature film!
Congratulations to David and the cast and crew of "Switched at Death" for their creation of a very entertaining film!
And congratulations to David on his postshow announcement that he has been green lit for his next film "The Cage!"
