David Wheeler, Aftermath's writer/director, was born and raised in Toronto, Canada, where he attended York University before studying filmmaking at England's prestigious London Film School.  

David's first documentary, Life Sentence, one of the first films on battered wives, was produced at the school. The film won wide acclaim, and, subsequently, CBS brought David to the United States to direct documentaries. The first of these films, Skid Row, won four EMMY Awards. Also for CBS, David helped create the multiple EMMY winning Two On The Town, which ran for eleven seasons.  

Next, David turned to directing and photographing television commercials, where he developed a style for cinematic composition and design. Specializing in fashion and cosmetics, he directed pieces for, among others; Lancolm, Jordache Jeans, Elizabeth Arden; Anais, Anais; Diet Coke, and Bill Blass Jeans, for which he won a CLIO Award.  

After writing and directing a movie for television, THE FIGHTER, about a young boxer who is blinded in a fight, David met up with Rob Landeros of Trilobyte who had created the ground breaking interactive CD-ROM, The 7th Guest. Together they created the highly successful 11th HOUR and have been working together continuously for eight years. They formed Aftermath in 1996. Tender Loving Care was their first production, followed by Point of View, which was released in April of 2001.
