Background
Dave Garcia specializes in post-production—in both the aesthetic and technical aspects of the craft. He is also a freelance film and video producer/editor, having worked in the industry since 1997.
He has worked on multiple award-winning productions over the years, including narrative shorts, features, documentaries, music videos, commercials, and training videos. His most recently completed film is BENNY: Our Musical Lineage, a documentary short about three generations of Ramos men: Benny II, Benny III and Benny IV—an inspirational glimpse into their unique musical lineage, spanning 70 years, of passion for music, family and divine purpose. In addition, he has a documentary short in post-production. His goal as a teacher is to help students hone creativity, excellence, and integrity to honor God and to have a positive influence on media culture.
Dave also served on his church’s worship team for many years as a musician and technical director, and looks forward to opportunities for service in his new community at Baylor and in Waco.
Film and media production is a family affair for Dave, his wife, and creative partner, Debi (production design); their son, Justin (writer/director/animator); and daughter-in-law, Rachel (creative producer/production coordinator).
