David Willis embarked on a journey in the entertainment industry, initially showcasing his comedic talents as a street magician in the vibrant city of New York, where he honed his craft amidst the bustling streets.
As his career progressed, he transitioned to stand-up comedy, a medium that allowed him to connect with audiences on a more intimate level, sans the need for rabbits, a staple of his earlier street magic performances.
Subsequent to his college tour, which spanned over 200 institutions, Willis relocated to Los Angeles, where he ventured into the realm of television production.
In a groundbreaking move, he made history in 2017 by becoming the first producer in the United States to successfully crowdfund a feature-length narrative film through Equity Crowdfunding.
The film, a heartwarming family comedy titled "I'll Be Next Door for Christmas," was brought to life on the big screen in February 2018 and is slated for a worldwide release in December of the same year.
