Dave McCary

Dave McCary interests me as a study in scaling craft. The San Diego native and USC grad sharpened his comic instincts directing segments for Saturday Night Live, where the discipline is wringing a complete joke out of a few minutes. Migrating from that short-form rhythm to feature filmmaking is harder than it looks, since the muscles for a quick laugh and a sustained narrative are genuinely different, and his willingness to attempt both shows ambition. Co-founding the production company Fruit Tree with Emma Stone signals a builder's mindset rather than a hired hand's. I have quiet respect for creators who assemble worlds from behind the curtain.
