David Lowery

David Lowery (b. 1980) is an American filmmaker whose work moves between intimate character studies and reimagined myth. He first drew attention with Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, a restrained, lyrical drama that signaled his interest in landscape and longing. Lowery has since shifted fluidly between independent projects like A Ghost Story and studio collaborations including Pete’s Dragon and Peter Pan & Wendy. With The Green Knight, he brought a measured, atmospheric approach to medieval legend. Across his films, Lowery favors quiet emotional currents, deliberate pacing, and a sense of time unfolding with patient gravity.
