The title of his first NAFTI film was "The Way To Shame" a short seven minute stage production which was directed by Alex Bannerman as part of his formal assessment in drama production. Alex who was a student of NAFTI at the time had chanced upon David and persuaded him to play the lead role as the intended person had not showed up during shooting. The film's assessment panel, especially Mike Hagan, recognised David's potential in theatre and drama and highlighted this to the young Alex Bannerman. Subsequently, David's acting potential became more noticed when he played the lead role in "Gus: The Theatre Cat", a short stage adaptation of a poem by T. S. Eliot. The play was directed by George Andoh Wilson of Wilson Acting Academy fame. (en)
