David Marconi, a native of Highland Park, Illinois, has been fascinated with filmmaking from a young age. His passion for the craft was evident from his early days, as he went on to win numerous high-school filmmaking competitions. This impressive start earned him an alumni merit scholarship to attend the prestigious University of Southern California's film school.
After completing his studies, Marconi landed his first job as an assistant to the renowned filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola on the film "The Outsiders". His exceptional work did not go unnoticed, as Coppola soon promoted him to production supervisor and 2nd unit on the film "Rumble Fish".
In 1993, Marconi made his directorial debut with the feature film "The Harvest", a visually stunning and stylish noir that starred Miguel Ferrer and Leilani Sarelle. This marked the beginning of a successful career in the film industry.
Marconi's writing skills were soon in high demand, and he was commissioned by Simpson/Bruckheimer to write an original screenplay for the high-tech thriller "Enemy of the State". The film, starring Will Smith and Gene Hackman, went on to gross over 250 million dollars worldwide, cementing Marconi's status as a talented writer.
The success of "Enemy of the State" led to Marconi being approached to redevelop Jerry Bruckheimer's television series "Soldier of Fortune". Marconi's work on the series further solidified his reputation as a skilled writer and filmmaker.
In addition to his work in film and television, Marconi has also co-authored three serialized novels with Flint Dille. The action-adventure series, titled "Agent 13", is set in the 1930s and consists of three novels: "The Midnight Avenger", "The Serpentine Assassins", and "The Acolytes of Darkness".
