David Bates

San Francisco, California

My passion for storytelling and film has been part of my life since the age of four. I am currently the Executive Producer, Creative Director and Visionary behind Bokeh, Inc. - a video creative agency in the SF Bay Area that specializes in providing cinematic marketing, outreach, and culture-building solutions to both startups and enterprises like Google and eBay. I have organized productions around the world and across the United States; from Silicon Valley, to the halls of Congress, to the Eiffel Tower.

I love food, travel, and sarcasm. An enthusiastic sports fan, you can often find me cheering on the SF Giants or 49ers, out on the basketball court, or playing catch with my girlfriend, Jenny, and our hyperactive Bichon, Penny.
