Interviews

Home


David E. McKenna has been in the film and video business for over 30 years.  Starting with commercials he moved on to documentaries at ABC in New York and then moved in to dramatic material.  His first feature film was in the Berlin film festival in 1974 as one of the two American entries.

From there he went on to freelance for a number of years and enjoyed several years doing dramatic editing on many made for features for PBS through Channel 13 in New York.

Among those were an Emmy nomination for "Verna: USO Girl" with Sissy Spacek, William Hurt, Sally Kellerman and Howard Da Silva who won the best supporting actor Emmy for his part.

McKenna did a couple of films for Fox and dozens of corporate videos and films with drama as the choice of presentation.

This is what he had to say about "Sore Losers"...

"I had no idea what to expect when Rich brought in his hours of footage.  I had not seen a script and in effect we cut the piece verbally - he would tell me the story, who was who, their various involvements with the other characters, the life he was attempting to portray through these people, which is the toll gambling takes on the players and payers.  It's a very engaging piece and I am happy to say moves very quickly which is an absolute necessity for it to work properly.

Rich is very easy to work with and he has another great project in the works with even more twists and turns than Sorelosers".
