David will help develop and produce a growing slate of original and commissioned projects that build on
Passion’s existing success with the Netflix series Love Death & Robots, Headspace, and Disney’s 101
Dalmatian Street. David will drive this expansion alongside Passion’s existing team; Founder and
Creative Director Andrew Ruhemann, Executive Producer Debbie Crosscup and CEO Nick Southgate.
At Pixar, David’s credits include some of the greatest animated films ever made – Ratatouille, Wall-E, Toy
Story 3, Monsters University and Coco. More recently David joined the UK company Locksmith to
head up production on their forthcoming feature Ron’s Gone Wrong due for release end of 2021
In addition to growing its award-winning reputation as long form storytellers, David, with Head of CG
Jason Nicholas, will oversee R&D into cutting edge technology for Passion’s in-house pipeline to deliver
premium TV Series and Features.
I’m thrilled to join such a talented collective. Helping the Passion team further expand their very unique and eclectic voices into even more long form stories is going to be a lot of fun.
– David Park
It’s very rare to find someone with David’s incredible feature experience, especially in Europe. He has worked on some of the greatest animated movies ever made and I feel very lucky and privileged to have him join us. We are both driven by a desire to build something very special here with the amazing talent we have around us.
