David Zeiger’s most recent fi lm, Sir! No Sir!, premiered at the 2005 Los Angeles Film Festival where it
won the Audience Award for Best Documentary. It went on to win Best Documentary at the Hamptons
International Film Festival, the Seeds of War Award at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, and Best
Film on War and Peace at the Vermont International Film Festival. It was nominated for Independent Spirit,

run, including “Two Thumbs Up” from Ebert and Roeper.
Zeiger created, produced and directed the 13 part documentary series, Senior Year, for broadcast on PBS

Angeles, through their last year in high school.
His short fi lm Funny Old Guys premiered in 2002 at the Museum of Television and Radio in Los Angeles.
Funny Old Guys captures the fi nal months of the life of Frank Tarloff, formerly blacklisted Academy Award
winning writer, as he and a group of friends, all former TV and fi lm writers, confront his imminent death.
The Band, Mr. Zeiger’s tribute to his son, aired to critical acclaim on the PBS series P.O.V. in 1998. It has
screened at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam and AFI Film Festival in Los Angeles,
and was awarded Best Documentary and Best of Show at the Central Florida Film Festival.
