David Borboa is an
independent videographer. He was born in Orange, CA and later
raised in Visalia, located in California's central valley. As
a youth, he experienced many hardships, seeing more of life's
struggles than most adults, let alone adolescents. He enjoyed
skateboarding and later video production, wanting to document,
expose, and share his surroundings and experiences with others.
He began his education in video production by taking courses
at a local community college in 1999.
He began documenting many events, concerts, skateboarding and the everyday lives
of many unusual characters. His work has always focused on underground lifestyles
and culture. David created a series of underground television shows titled "G-
Rated T.V.". His segments featured live bands, skits, comedy, parody commercials,and
events. However, the main content of the programs often consisted of controversial
subject matter such as street life, violence, drug abuse. The grittiness and
reality of these videos created an small cult-like fan base.
David felt he had found his life's work and set out to create his own professional
production company. He hoped to write, direct and produce his own films and create
commercials for local businesses. However, he didn't know where to begin. A chance
encounter at a pizza parlor with Edward
James Olmos, clarified his path. Olmos
is a Latino director, actor, producer, writer and activist. David felt a kinship
towards Olmos as they are both Latin American filmmakers. Olmos gave David advice
and inspiration to begin his career.
Borboa has filmed many underground artists as KRS ONE, HANK WILLIAMS
III, HIEROGLYPHICS,JUNIOR REID,and many underground punk bands.He
has also documented many
|

professional skateboarders such as the "PAEZ" bros. and
many others in their everyday lives. David is currently filming a
documentary on 60's Rock/Art icon CARL O. FRANZONI. Borboa and Franzoni
have a unique and sometimes volatile chemistry which promises to
make this film an unusual, inspiring and sometimes disturbing look
into the mind of an original FREAK OUT legend.
David currently lives in California's Bay Area with his wife and newborn son. |
