David Banks Talks Writing His First Indie Film, CUT! Starring Sam Scarber, Dahlia Salem, Gabrielle Stone, and David Rountree

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Studio City, California, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) January 13, 2012 --

David keeps busy acting and thanks his father Tom Banks, the creator of "Heard It Through The Grapevine" Commercial with the dancing raisins. That influenced him at an early age. California Raisins...The concept was originally created for a 1987 commercial on behalf of the California Raisin Advisory Board when one of the writers (Thomas Banks of the advertising firm Foote, Cone & Belding) came up ...with an idea for the new raisin commercial, saying "We have tried everything but dancing raisins singing 'I Heard It Through the Grapevine'" (the 1968 Marvin Gaye song). To their surprise, the commercial became wildly popular, spawning future commercials, two TV specials (Meet the Raisins in 1988 and Raisins: Sold Out! in 1990), four studio albums, and a Saturday morning cartoon series, aptly titled The California Raisin Show.

David studied at the Groundlings, which claims some of the funniest comedians such as John Lovitz, Will Farrell, Chris Katan, and Lisa Kudrow. Since David's move to Southern California he has appeared in over 100 national commercials with companies like Coors Light, Samsung, Eastwood, Reebok, Motorola, Best Buy, Hoover, Little Caesars, Comcast, Red Robin, Mitsubishi, EA Games, Ditech, Milk, and Citibank to name a few.

After writing a slightly deranged, tightly wound character named Lane in the film CUT!
It's a great feeling to see it all come alive.

Suze Lanier-Bramlett (The Hills Have Eyes) Makes a special appearance.
Also featuring Sam Scarber (Erasure, Over The Top, Karate Kid) Dahlia Salem (ER, Mall Cop, General Hospital) David Rountree (xXx:State of the Union, Staunton Hill, Pearl Harbor) Gabrielle Stone (One of Us Must Know, Silver Lake)

Nothing is as it seems as an ex-con and aspirant filmmaker set out to manufacture a horror film by scaring real people, however, when it goes too far and someone actually dies, the pair decide that killing for real on film is the way to make a truly terrifying movie.
