In college, David Donnelly was pre-med and a football player, but a day after graduation, he ran off to Los Angeles to follow his dream of becoming a filmmaker.

At that point, classical music was the last thing on his mind, but now, he’s released a feature-length documentary called “Maestro” about world-renowned conductor Paavo Järvi.

It came about when Donnelly moved back home to Cincinnati when he was 25 and Järvi happened to be his neighbor.
