Robert Davidian
Independent video producer, director, cameraman, and editor. He is originally from New York City and has lived in Los Angeles for half his life. His interest in cameras and editing began at age of 13 when he discovered his then-recently deceased father’s 8-mm movie camera. After college he worked as a TV ratings analyst in ad agencies and studios. Has worked as a commercial producer for Time Warner Cable. Since going independent in 1992, his work has taken him around the world. He has worked on shows, news features, promotional and educational videos – for networks from MTV and Discovery to the Oxygen Network and BBC, and corporations from Toyota to Sony and Nike – but he is especially proud of the documentary work he has done in his ancestral homeland, Armenia, on schools, orphanages and medical clinics for fund-raising organizations in the United States. Since 1994 and through his company, Davidian Video Productions, he has brought his creativity to a variety of projects.
