David Jay Willis

After beginning his career as a comedic street magician in New York City, David Willis switched to standup comedy because it required fewer rabbits. He toured with his one-man show at over 200 colleges, then moved to Los Angeles and got into the TV business.

In 2017, he became the first producer in the United States to raise money through Equity Crowdfunding for a feature length narrative film. The film, a family comedy called "I'll Be Next Door for Christmas," was shot in February of 2018 and is scheduled for release worldwide in December, 2018.
