David Gluck
After graduating from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, I moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in screenwriting. As a member of the Writers’ Guild of America West, I have written and developed screenplays for a number of notable studios and filmmakers including MGM, Lionsgate, Vadim Perelman, Stephen Susco, Patrick Stewart and worked on set for David Benioff. I am represented by attorney Melissa Rogal of the Beverly Hills law firm Lichter, Grossman, Nichols, Adler, and Clark. My first novel, Red Danube, was long-listed in Sunspot Literary Journal’s Inception competition, will be included in Provincetown Arts magazine, has made it through the quarter-finals of the ScreenCraft’s Cinematic Book competition, and was called: “Very moving and heartfelt," by Altie Karper of Schocken Books. I am currently back in New York City, living on the Upper West Side with my family.
Works

Red Danube
A charismatic art dealer lets his guard down, revisits a painful past, and uncovers a haunting betrayal perpetrated by the least likely antagonist during his youth in a Nazi concentration camp.
Based on actual events, Red Danube, complete at 83,000 words, is told over a lifetime where the past and present coexist in a swirl of allegories that reflect issues we still face today. Influenced equally by the works of Isaac Bashevis Singer, Elie Wiesel, Bela Tarr, Martin Scorsese, and Quentin Tarantino, I take an individualized approach to exploring themes of war, the Holocaust, and the effects of the Diaspora on all generations involved.
