Biography


David Karlak is a filmmaker based in Los Angeles, California.[1][self-published source] In 2010 Karlak directed the short film The Candidate that went on to make the Viewfinder List in 2011.[2] Following The Candidate, Karlak sold an original sci-fi pitch to Warner Brothers titled Rise with Roy Lee producing,[3] and then a second original pitch titled Outliers to 20th Century Fox with Peter Chernin producing.[4] Karlak is attached to direct both films. In recent years, Karlak has been exploring the use of virtual reality to tell narratives, having directed a virtual reality experience set in the world of Rise[5] which premiered it at the Storyscapes series at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2014.[6]

Karlak most recently has been working with 20th Century Fox to direct two virtual reality experiences for Ridley Scott's film Alien: Covenant.[7][8][9][10] The first experience, Alien: Covenant In Utero premiered April 26, 2017 for Oculus Rift and Samsung Gear VR.[11]

On March 3, 2017, Deadline Hollywood reported that Filmula's Johnny Lin and Cross Creek's Brian Oliver acquired the feature film rights to Rise from Warner Brothers with Karlak attached to direct.[12][13][14] Rise is about a dystopian future where robots are targeted for elimination after they develop emotional symmetry to humans and a revolutionary war for their survival begins. Anton Yelchin starred in the short, which was based on a screenplay Karlak penned with writers Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton (the Saw series).
