Ace cinematographer David Myers was well regarded in the movie industry for his sterling contributions to various rock-'n-roll music documentaries he photographed throughout his 50-year career. Myers was born on May 8, 1914, in Auburn, New York. He was inspired to become a still photographer after seeing a display of Depression-era photographer Walker Evans' work at the New York Museum of Modern Art in 1938. David worked for the Farm Security Administration while studying at Antioch College, was a conscientious objector during World War II, planted trees for the U.S. Forest Service and photographed patients during admission for a Spokane, Washington, mental hospital prior to becoming involved with the motion picture business. His big break occurred when famed photographer Imogen Cunningham told the backers of a short feature that she wouldn't make it without Myers' participation, which is how he wound up directing the documentary short Ask Me, Don't Tell Me (1961). During the 1960s Myers traveled the world shooting documentaries for both National Geographic and the United Nations (he was a pioneer in the field of cinema verite). However, it was his vital and substantial work on the classic Oscar-winning landmark rock concert documentary Woodstock (1970) that really cemented David's status as a top cinematographer of rock documentaries. Among the other rock documentaries Myers subsequently photographed in the wake of "Woodstock" are Johnny Cash in San Quentin (1969), Elvis on Tour (1972), Joe Cocker: Mad Dogs & Englishmen (1971), Soul to Soul (1971), Wattstax (1973), Let the Good Times Roll (1973), Save the Children (1973), The Grateful Dead (1977), Martin Scorsese's The Last Waltz (1978), Neil Young's Rust Never Sleeps (1979) and Joni Mitchell's Shadows and Light (1980). David also shot the Oscar-winning documentary Marjoe (1972) and the speculative paranormal documentary The Mysterious Monsters (1975). Outside of his documentary credits, Myers was the cinematographer for such feature films as George Lucas' debut feature THX 1138 (1971), Welcome to L.A. (1976), Bob Dylan's Renaldo and Clara (1978), FM (1978), Roadie (1980), Zoot Suit (1981) and UFOria (1984). He was an honorary member of the Society of Operating Cameramen.

A life long lover of "exploitation" cinema, Morphy was practically raised in the drive-in theaters which once dotted his upstate New York home. Intrigued at an early age by the works of George A. Romero and Steven Spielberg, Morphy's taste for the fantastic was evident at an early stage of his creative development, and at the tender age of 11 years he penned his first screenplay, a three page opus dubbed simply: "The Beast." Having worked as a freelance journalist and graphic artist, Morphy has written numerous critical essays as well as screenplays, including an adaptation of the autobiography of Eishi Hyata, entitled "Esmeraldero," and a re-write on the soon to be produced Coen Brothers script "The Godmother." Morphy has served as a tattoo designer and consultant on several motion pictures including "Snuff" and "Blowin' Smoke", and has also directed three motion pictures, two of which have premiered at east coast film festivals such as the "New York Independent Film and Video Festival".
Morphy currently serves as the primary researcher, author and artist for Americanmonsters.com, and has dedicated the better portion of his adult life to the pursuit of unknown animals and directing documentaries.
During the early 1990s, Morphy conducted cryptozoological research throughout Central Europe, and in 2000 he traveled to South Africa in order to investigate reports of the notorious man-eater known as the mamlambo. During this trip, Morphy also collected information regarding the legendary Howick Falls monster eel, the Inkanyamba. Most recently Morphy has directed the first in what is planned to be a series of cryptozoological documentaries, the initial installment one of which details the exploits of an animal known as the "Honey Island Swamp Monster." Morphy is also putting the finishing touches on the first of three in his series of post-apocalyptic-black-comedies, starring Michael DeForrest and Larissa Lury, entitled "11".- Costume and Wardrobe Department
