More about David Hopwood

A native of Los Angeles, David Hopwood graduated from The University of Southern California with degrees in Creative Writing and Cinema/Television. He began his career in entertainment in the training program of Michael Ovitz's Artist Management Group. There, he worked for esteemed talent manager and producer Ellen Goldsmith-Vein (currently CEO of The Gotham Group). In 2002, he joined former studio chief Mark Canton (300, IMMORTALS) at the foundation of Atmosphere Entertainment as his assistant.

At Atmosphere Entertainment, he shepherded many films, including THE SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES, PIRANHA 3D, LETTERS TO JULIET, IMMORTALS, CAKE, MR. CHURCH, 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE and DEN OF THIEVES. During his time at Atmosphere, he helped create a diverse slate and ultimately rose to the title of President of Production and Development. David also produced the hit TV series POWER for Starz where he played a critical role in the inception, development, and selling of the show.

In 2017, he served as an adjunct professor for SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY'S LOS ANGELES PROGRAM. There, he taught juniors and seniors of the prestigious NEWHOUSE SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATIONS the college course BUSINESS AND DEVELOPMENT OF FILM PRODUCTION. This course focused on taking the students to get a film made from an idea through distribution.

Hopwood now co-runs a new production shingle, A GROUP OF FERRETS, with longtime collaborator Michael K. Dwyer and producer Corey Moosa (MARGIN CALL, ALL IS LOST).
