David Stutman
Biography
David Stutman is an American screenwriter and producer, best known for his involvement in the independent film Don's Plum (2001). The film, directed by R. D. Robb, features a cast including Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, and Kevin Connolly. It was co-written by Stutman alongside Robb, Bethany Ashton, Tawd Beckman, and Dale Wheatley. Don's Plum is a black-and-white drama that unfolds over a single night, capturing a group of young adults engaged in candid conversations at a Los Angeles diner.
Despite its notable cast and unique format, the film faced legal challenges that prevented its release in the United States and Canada. The controversy stemmed from disputes over the actors' consent for a feature-length release, as they had initially agreed to participate in a short film.
Beyond his work on Don's Plum, there is limited public information regarding Stutman's career in the film industry. His contributions to this project, however, highlight his engagement with independent cinema and collaborative storytelling.
