David Shepard (film preservationist)

David Shepard (b. 1940, New York City) is a film preservationist whose company, Film Preservation Associates, is responsible for many high quality video versions of silent films. Some come from the Blackhawk Films library (also owned by David Shepard) and others from materials owned by private collectors and film archives around the world.

Shepard began restoring films when he joined the American Film Institute in 1968 as one of their first staff members. In 1987, he bought the Blackhawk Films library.
