David Schrader
David Schrader is a writer/filmmaker and sometimes reluctant actor with a background in stand-up, sketch, improv, and alternative comedy. He received instruction from some of the best Second City alumni at Bang! Improv and iO West, including David Razowsky, Evan Gore, Suzy Nakamura, George McAuliffe, Theresa Mulligan, and Peter and Aliza Murrieta.

Feature credits include the 90's slacker comedy NoHo, the horror film Bloodline (Lionsgate), and the horror/comedy Mary Tyler, Millennial (2021). He has created a wide range of short subjects, such as the Spike Jonze-endorsed parody, Being Ozzy Osbourne (with Christy Stratton Mann), and those made under Hybräu Productions, a company he co-founded with Matt Friedberg in 2015, Mercy No Mercy, Come and Knock: The Other Ray Charles (L.A. Indie Film Festival Winner), Star Wars Ep. VII Outtakes, Squatchtrackers, and Back to the Bad: Breaking to the Future.

Schrader has written one novel, Exile in Hawaii, which he considered it so good, he saw no reason to ever write another. Published by Action Lab Danger Zone in 2018, his first comic book, Baby Badass, quickly became a cult hit, with Volume 2 set to be released in late 2022. He lives in Los Angeles, CA with his amazing Chef wife and activist, Alejandra, their new baby boy, Chriss Alejandro, and their one-hundred-pound dog, Broley.
