BIO
DAVID GUGLIELMO is a producer, writer, director, and casting director based in NY and LA.
In five years he cast approximately 50 feature films, fast-tracking his induction into the prestigious Casting Society of America.
His titles include the highly acclaimed ensemble-piece THE STANDOFF AT SPARROW CREEK (TIFF Premiere), the crime drama SOUTH OF HEAVEN starring Jason Sudeikis, and the Venice Film Festival premiering RUN HIDE FIGHT.
As Head of Casting for the legendary horror brand, FANGORIA, he brought worldwide visibility to their slate with veteran actors such as Stephen Lang (VFW) and Guy Pearce (THE SEVENTH DAY) in starring roles.
For television, he recently completed THE PENDRAGON CYCLE, a seven-episode series which took him to Europe for an expansive international talent search.
His ability to work with actors and strong agency relationships make him a go-to Casting Director in the industry, but it’s his knowledge of film financing, development, production, and distribution which set him apart, and has been integral in his career as a Producer, which includes recent titles such as MUZZLE, an action/thriller starring Aaron Eckhart which spawned a sequel currently in production, and the festival and critical darling THE LAST STOP IN YUMA COUNTY. Next up, Guglielmo will be producing the Wayne Kramer thriller MY ONE AND ONLY, starring Lucy Hale.
As a writer/director, he made two back-to-back thrillers, NO WAY TO LIVE and HOSPITALITY, which were released one year apart to positive reviews and are available on all VOD platforms. His third film as director, the erotic thriller LOVE BOMB, is completed and will be released in November 2024.
