David Sloan
PRODUCTION DIRECTOR
David Sloan is a Media Producer and Educator based in Baltimore, MD. He received his MA in Community Arts from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2008. David’s teaching strategy is rooted in the belief that telling your story, and the story of your community, builds personal agency and helps us to envision a better world.
As the Production Director for Wide Angle Productions, David helped to spearhead the first state-certified Apprenticeships in digital video production within the state of Maryland. David works with Wide Angle's Multimedia Apprentices to produce content for local and national clients, ranging from grassroots nonprofits to Fortune 500 companies. Since 2014, Wide Angle Productions has worked with over 100 clients to produce thousands of projects, ranging from photography to short films and commercials to providing production support for feature documentaries.
The videos produced by Wide Angle’s Productions department have been accepted into film festivals across the United States and have been distributed on Maryland Public Television’s long-running “Art Works” program. These work experiences help young creatives start their careers strong, with real-world work samples and thousands of hours developing projects, working behind the camera or at in an editing bay.
Prior to serving as WAYM’s Production Director, David worked as a Media Instructor for 7 years, developing and leading educational programming for middle and high school students. The most rewarding part of David’s job is seeing young people take these skills out into the field - building their own companies, doing amazing freelance work, or landing a position with another company. Over time, David hopes that Wide Angle will change the media and communications industries, as more young people from our city take on creative leadership roles in Baltimore and beyond.
In his free time, David loves making images the old-fashioned way with his medium-format film camera.
