David J. Syczylo has been inspired by film ever since he was a young kid. Watching films like Star Wars blew his mind away and he knew someday he would be working in the film industry. David loves Sci-Fi, Creature, and Horror films. The creature from "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" is one of his all time favorite classic movie monsters. Besides from the space fantasy David loves puppetry from the Muppets, Fraggle Rock, to the Dark Crystal and more. Real interaction on set is something David favors over computer-generated imagery.

As a kid David built many items from Lego to models, even making custom playsets for his action figures. As he grew older his passion of building things progressed into props and costumes that have inspired other creators out there to follow his steps.

David started his educational training by attending the Herron School of Art in Indianapolis, Indiana where he got his training in traditional fine art skills and art history. From there he progressed into Visual Communications - Multimedia Specialty and a background in business attending both I.U.P.U.I. and Ivy Tech State College, Indianapolis depending where classes were offered. He graduated with honors in 2001 as a member of Phi Theta Kappa.

David has acted in one television commercial for the Central Indianapolis Regional Blood Center in 1997. David has worked on a few short films such as "Carbonite" which won second place in the 2003 Atom Films Star Wars Fan Films. Most of David’s film or theatrical experience has been off and behind the camera or stage using his skills to create props, costumes, scenery, and visual effects.

David still continues creating props, replicas, costumes, web design, and more to fuel his imagination. Recently he has been getting in front of the camera by acting. He enjoys more serious roles than comedy. His dream is to one day be encased in a full body creature suit and play the creature in a creature film.
