From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Schurman (born in 1974, Florianopolis, Brazil) first showed a passion for filmaking at age 13, when he started filming the adventures during the Schurmann Family first circumnavigation of the world. After learning the secrets of the profession hands-on, he got a formal degree in Cinema in New Zealand. Afterwards, he completed his education in the United States. He has worked internationally, directing and producing television shows, documentaries and commercials films.

Schurman, who had the privilege of growing up onboard a sailing boat, also gives lectures to companies. As the official producer/director/cinematographer of the Schurmann Family adventures, he has registered some of the most beautiful images of the four corners of the world, especially during the Magellan Global Adventure (1997-2000).

In 2007, Schurman released his first motion picture film, "The World Twice Around," a documentary which has won two prestigious awards in the Recife Film Festival in Brazil, for Best Film according to the public and Best Sound Editing.
