Everything I share in my stories comes from people across the industry — and around the world — who are too afraid to speak out themselves. I’m only the voice for those genuinely silenced: real souls and artists who still use reason and live in the same reality as the rest of us. So I will speak for them. 🫡 If anything offends you.. then you’re not ready for the truth. All the love, David A

“The Underground Man” screenplay. 144 pages filled with truth, passion, and soul. We’ve come a long way to bring this vision to life. Every dream starts with a thought — then you speak it into existence, write it down, and finally take action. Thank you to everyone who believed in me from the beginning and continues to support this journey. I can’t wait to share a story that so many of us will be able to connect with and relate to. All the love, David A

Thank you for all the love and support. @artistsolivefarm welcomes true creative thinkers of every kind. So far, we’ve brought together professors, scientists, industry leaders, students, artists, young and old — people from all walks of life who still believe creativity, humanity, and soul matter. What we’re building is bigger than art. We are forming a coalition to protect human creativity and reclaim the spirit that’s been stripped from modern culture. Personally, I’m done sitting around pretending everything is okay. If people want to ignore what’s happening to art, truth, and human connection, that’s their choice. But for those who feel it deeply — we have a responsibility to build something better. We have to come together. We have to support one another. And we have to create our own industry — free from agendas, propaganda, division, and everything contaminating the heart of creativity itself. Enough tearing each other down. Enough forgetting what it means to create from the soul. @artistsolivefarm was created as a safe haven for genuine artists and thinkers. We already have the tools to write, film, create, and distribute everything independently. And honestly, the formula is simple: If the artist connects to the work, people connect. If people connect, people care. If people care, people show up. And suddenly everybody makes money. If the artist doesn’t connect? Nobody connects. Nobody cares. Everybody loses money. Very complicated math for the finance bros. I have a massive vision for this. And this is only the beginning. I want safe havens for artists all around the world. So far, Spain and Italy are secured. We only get one life to leave something meaningful behind for humanity. So let’s build something real together. I can’t do this alone. I need my brothers and sisters. It really is a special thing to be a truly free human being. All the love, David A

Hello everyone — I’ve launched a YouTube channel where I’ll be documenting the entire process of creating a film from the ground up. Every step, every challenge, every lesson. The goal is to show that anyone with passion, vision, and determination can create something meaningful from home. For too long, parts of the entertainment industry have prioritized trends, algorithms, and influencer culture over originality and authentic storytelling. Many artists with genuine vision are overlooked simply because their work doesn’t fit neatly into what studios, agencies, or producers believe is marketable. Art should connect people. It should challenge us, inspire us, and reflect something real about the human experience. But too often, the industry feels disconnected from the audiences it’s meant to serve — trapped in a small bubble instead of listening to what people truly want. My ex agents over at @unitedtalent abandoned my vision because it didn’t align with their agendas. I realized that if an industry no longer values your voice, your creativity, or the soul behind your work, there’s only one thing left to do: walk away and build your own. So this channel is more than just documenting a film. It’s about showing that independent artists don’t need permission to create. We don’t need to wait for approval to tell honest stories and make meaningful art. They need us. To all the real artists out there: keep creating. Keep building. Keep believing in your voice even when others don’t. Real art lasts. Authenticity lasts. The noise fades, but truth and passion always rise above it. Check out the @artistsolivefarm on IG and YouTube to explore this journey with me! What we got to lose? All the love, David A

The Underground Man - Film Original Concept art. The Underground Man follows a bitter, isolated former industry songwriter who lives trapped inside his own mind, obsessing over humiliation, pride, and his inability to connect with others. After a series of social failures pushes him deeper into despair, he encounters Lisa, a young actress whose quiet vulnerability unsettles him. Forcing him to confront whether he is capable of genuine love—or only emotional destruction. Inspired by the Great Masterpiece Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Novel “Notes from the Underground”

Today is my birthday. What a journey it’s been — and it still feels like the beginning. There’s so much more to build, learn, create, and become. I love God. I love life. I love my family. I love true art. This next chapter is about creating from the soul — with faith, purpose, discipline, and love guiding everything I do. Ballet. Piano. Broadway. Hollywood. The Army. Academia. Surviving Lyme disease. Dealing with depression. Heartbreaks. Olive farming. Every path, every sacrifice, every experience has prepared me for one thing: to tell the truth of what I’ve seen, lived, and felt. I’ll spend the rest of my life sharing that truth through my films — honestly, fearlessly, and from the soul. I’ve created a self sustainable farm for true artists to gather and create from their hearts. I welcome all who feel the same calling. To everyone who’s been part of my path so far: thank you. All the love, David A.

Meet “Lisa” — The Underground Man. Film Huge gratitude to @talshashoua for taking the leap 🙏 An incredible artist, an even better human, and someone I’m proud to finally create with after all these years since Fordham.

“The Underground Man” - Teaser Trailer Created by David Alvarez Enjoy 🙏 “I’m joking—and I know my jokes aren’t very good. But anything can be taken as a joke. Maybe I’m joking against my own will. Still, I’m troubled by these questions—so answer me. What if dissatisfaction itself is what satisfies us!” - The Underground Man

The Underground Man - Production # 4 B roll “At one point, I almost challenged him to fight. Wrote the letter and everything. Beautiful letter. If he’d had any sense, he would’ve apologized, embraced me—we might’ve become friends. I didn’t send it. Thank God. But I’m not ashamed of it. Not entirely. Some of it, I still think, was… well composed, at least.“ -The Underground Man

“The Underground Man” B-roll footage. # 3 “Why do you talk like that?” she said suddenly. I stopped. “Like what?” “Like a book.” She was right. Everything I’d said—every word—had been rehearsed somewhere inside me long before this moment. Not lived. Not real. Just… performed.” -The Underground Man

“The Underground Man” Production Day # 2 “Every person has memories they wouldn’t tell just anyone—only close friends. And some things they wouldn’t even tell their friends—only themselves, in secret. And then there are things a person won’t even admit to themselves. Every decent person has such things hidden inside.” -The Underground Man

Day #1 of Production “The Underground Man” a Film by David Alvarez Inspired by Fyodor Dostoevsky’s, “Notes from the Underground”
