David Hemingson (born July 26, 1964) is an American writer and producer for film and television.
Early life and education
Hemingson was born on July 26, 1964 in New Haven, Connecticut. His father worked both as a teacher and a merchant marines, while his mother was a nurse at Mount Sinai Hospital in Hartford, Connecticut. His parents divorced in 1969.[1]
In 1982, Hemingson graduated from Watkinson School, a boarding school in Hartford. His experiences in boarding school, along with life lessons acquired from an uncle during his youth, informed Hemingson's screenplay for the 2023 Alexander Payne film The Holdovers.[2][1]
Hemingson earned a bachelor's degree at Yale University and graduated from Columbia Law School in 1990. After graduation, he worked in the entertainment division of the Loeb & Loeb law firm in Los Angeles before deciding to pursue a writing career.[3]
Career
Hemingson's first job after leaving the legal field was as an assistant writer on Nickelodeon's The Adventures of Pete & Pete.[4]
In addition to his television writing career, Hemingson served as a producer on series such as Just Shoot Me!, Kitchen Confidential, The Deep End, Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23, and Whiskey Cavalier.
In 2017, Hemingson wrote a pilot for a series set at a New England boarding school based on his own experiences at the Watkinson School. He was later contacted by director Alexander Payne, who wanted his next film to be set in the prep school environment. Hemingson adapted the pilot script into the screenplay for Payne's 2023 film The Holdovers.[4]
Personal life
Hemingson married writer and actress Victoria Morsell in 1998. The pair reside in Los Angeles with their son.[5]
