Testimonials
"I've worked with David Steckler for years on a number of series for a variety of networks including Discovery and History Channel. David is a pleasure to work with - dependable, funny, easy to be around and he is truly one of the hardest working and most talented producers I've ever known. Besides having a great eye for finding the perfect clip, David is also incredibly resourceful and has an uncanny ability to quickly acquire the vital research on the who, what, where, when and why of the story. In addition, he is relentless and will not rest until he tracks down the owner of the clip and gets the signed license, even if the person lives on the other side of the world, doesn't speak a lick of English and had no interest in licensing the clip! David is also great to have on the team because regardless of the situation he keeps his cool and even if a clip falls out at the last minute, he is able to quickly, and within budget, find a replacement while all others are losing their heads! All in all I highly recommend Research by David!"
Mike Swartz, Supervising Producer
"David is a total pro and he has a supernatural ability to find stories that I never knew existed. Plus he's a nice guy and a great team player."
Eddie Rohwedder, Executive Producer
“David has an incredible work ethic and is my go-to guy, whenever I need to find obscure clips from any source. He cares about what he does. He has contacts throughout the world. He gets the job done and I would recommend him to any producer who’s looking for a team player, one who always comes through.”
Glenn Kirschbaum, Executive Producer
