“So incredibly excited and humbled to announce my company, Novo Media Group, next film BOYS OF SUMMER starring Mel Gibson! Incredibly excited to be doing this with my talented partners at @pastimepictures and @mfasano28. Mel helped coin an old phrase, ‘Entertain, Educate and Elevate’ and that’s exactly what we intend on doing with this special film written by the talented @culiano and Bryan Shultz,” he wrote.

“And on top of all that we get to have the incredible @masonthamesofficial leading the charge with Mel! Mason is on trajectory to the moon so I am so excited to direct one of Hollywood’s newest talents. Feeling very blessed and ready to bring this story to life!!!! Ps How does one direct an Oscar winning director 🤣?” David added.

Boys of Summer “centers on a local boy (Thames) who, after his best friend mysteriously disappears, begins to suspect that a supernatural entity may be hunting the children of Martha’s Vineyard. He seeks the help of an aging detective (Gibson), with the two soon discovering they’re on the path of a witch who has recently retired to their island.”

This will mark David‘s second time directing a film. His first, This Is The Year, was just recently released!
