kinds. Whether it\u2019s writing for narrative podcasts or development as owner and staff screenwriter of an independent film studio, he's always taking another helping of \"story business\" onto his plate. David's fondness for science fiction and Lovecraftian short stories is rivaled only by his love for and knowledge in craft coffee. His own feature film, Wish You Were Here, has placed as a Semi-Finalist of the Best Director Award from BEST FILM AWARDS and premiered April 2021.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.illuminationcinema.com\/"],"url":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/phoenix\/author\/dyoung\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/phoenix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1363"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/phoenix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/phoenix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/phoenix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/phoenix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1363"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/phoenix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1363\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11221,"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/phoenix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1363\/revisions\/11221"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/phoenix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1365"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/phoenix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1363"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/phoenix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1363"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/phoenix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1363"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
