David Silberberg

1992 to present: I started my career recording low-budget independent films in the 1990s. These films provided me with a training ground for location sound mixing. I’ve also been fortunate enough to boom operate for some excellent Bay Area sound mixers: Bob Gitzen, Dan Gleich, Peter Bettendorff, Michael Emery, and others. In 1999, I was a boom operator on the feature film “Playing Mona Lisa” and learned many important things working with the great Hollywood cinematographer James Glennon. Bay Area cameraman Henry Young brought me into the world of fast-paced broadcast news production, which included mixing live segments. I worked with director Steve Olpin of Salt Lake City on his extreme sports films about Dave Mirra and Ryan Nyquist. I learned about recording acoustic music while working with renowned producer Chris Strachwitz during the filming of “This Ain’t No Mouse Music.” And I learned countless lessons about documentary filmmaking from working with legendary filmmaker Les Blank. Today, I have a variety of clients in the corporate television and independent film worlds.
