David Attwood is a British filmmaker, director and writer. In 1984, he took the BBC directors' course and quickly progressed to directing feature-length television projects, but it was for Channel 4 that he made his only cinema-released film, "Wild West" (1992). The offbeat drama-doc biography by Alexander Masters "Stuart: A Life Backwards" (2007) has become a major cult-hit over the years.
