Early life and education
Mitchell was born in Clawson, Michigan.[2] He attended Wayne State University in Detroit, MI.[2] He graduated from Florida State University College of Motion Picture Arts with a Master of Fine Arts degree in production.[3]
Career
Mitchell's first full-length film was the coming-of-age drama The Myth of the American Sleepover (2010). Adele Romanski, a friend of Mitchell's from film school, served as one of the producers. In an interview, Mitchell said that the film cost about $50,000.[4]
Four years later, he directed the supernatural horror film It Follows. The film was acclaimed by critics and was a remarkable commercial success considering its low, independent film budget.[5][6]
Mitchell served as a jury member in the Critics' Week section of the 2016 Cannes Film Festival.[7]
In 2018, he directed Under the Silver Lake, a postmodern noir comedy-drama film set in Los Angeles and starring Andrew Garfield.[8]
In October 2023, it was announced that a sequel, entitled They Follow, was in pre-production with writer-director David Robert Mitchell and star Maika Monroe returning. Neon would produce and distribute the film domestically, while filming is expected to begin in 2024.[9][10]
