Director’s bio:
John David De Virgiliis is a filmmaker born of Argentine parents and raised in the mountains of North Carolina. He cut his teeth as an I.A.T.S.E. motion picture cameraman on films Mud, Mediterranea, and Loving. He draws inspiration from mentors Annie Silverstein, Jonas Carpignano, and Jeff Nichols and their commitment to regional realism. John David holds an M.F.A. in Film & Media Production from the University of Texas at Austin.
John David relates to mermaids as characters caught between worlds. A Texas Mermaid Movie is born of the desire to explore in between spaces and transitional moments in life, as well as to celebrate those who steward the majestic waters of Texas.
