Helliventures Becomes Popular

Action and extreme sports director David Tindale (a.k.a. Popular) and German-based production company Helliventures have joined forces after shooting two projects together.

Tindale grew up in the Vancouver outdoors skateboarding and snowboarding. As competitive injuries took their toll he realized that professional snowboarding would not be his future. Design became the new creative outlet and a chance to stay connected to the sports and culture he loved.

Tindale has lived around the world working as a creative, brand and marketing lead on both the agency and client side where he launched a national retail chain, directed and shot a hundred or so ad campaigns, videos and catalogs.

Three years ago Tindale focused his attention on the experiences he most enjoyed and began a career as full-time independent filmmaker.  Since then he has directed, written and produced several award winning films and television productions.  

His body of work includes projects for Nike, Target, Burton Snowboards, Mountain Dew, ESPN, Audi, Lululemon, American Eagle Outiftters, Puma and CBC.
