David Green (director)

David Green is a British film director, television producer and media executive.

Green, born on 12 November 1948 in London to Evelyn Morris and Louis Green, was educated at Bury Grammar School and at Trinity College, Oxford, from where he graduated as a Master of Arts in English Language and Literature. He joined Yorkshire Television where, within a year, he became the youngest YTV programme director, cutting his directorial teeth on the launch of Emmerdale, before going on to direct 29 episodes of Whicker's World, a three-part American medical series with Austin Mitchell, two European political documentaries narrated by Robert Kee and a film fronted by David Frost about Elvis.

Green is now a major figure in the British and American film and television industries, having worked on motion pictures and TV projects in virtually every genre over the past 25 years. His movie‑directing credits include the award-winning romantic comedy and crime-drama Buster featuring Phil Collins and Julie Walters, and the $22m action adventure Wings of the Apache starring Nicolas Cage, Tommy Lee Jones and Sean Young (released in the USA as Fire Birds by Touchstone.) Other feature film directing credits include the psychological thriller Breathtaking with Joanne Whalley and Jamie Foreman, and the comedy Car Trouble featuring Julie Walters and Ian Charleson.
