Message from Dave..
"Happy New Year! 2009 is going to be amazing, just focus on the work and everything will be awesome..A few things to look forward to in the new year, is Digital Underdog Films! Yes, we are moving into TV and Film production, over the next 18 months we will see that division grow. We are working on a Music TV show with established TV producers that you won't want to miss. Why? Because it will be about you!...Sshhh, you heard it here first..
2008 seemed a bit slow for Digital Underdog, due to the move out West from Toronto (which I miss all of you guys!) and the fact that I just spent the past year in acting school in Vancouver, and it was an amazing experience as it allowed me to have a medium to vent in ways music cannot. It also relies heavily on truth, so that focus is wonderful and goes hand in hand with making great art, any kind of art.
So now I am learning (teaching self) how to edit film and do post effect work, using programs like Premiere Pro and After Effects, which is very exciting. I can't wait to show you some of the new work and music I have been working on with some extremely talented people, 2008 was a life changing year, 2009 will be the workhorse year!
Hope all is well and everyone is pumped as I am for a new and wonderful year!
Lots of love and best wishes,
Dave Thompson
P.S I can't wait to work with you!

Musican/producer Dave Thompson travelled to Vancouver from Australia in 1998 to make a new start wihout knowing a soul, only to lose everything and become homeless 4 months later. Not having any resources, this is an amazing true account of survival over 5 years in a country he wasn't allowed to be in, in a land he didn't know. This darkly humorous, educational and intriguing story is told through Dave's own thoroughly honest perspective.
Dave will appear in the new FOX show "Human Target", airing in North America in Jan 2010.
