David S. Washburn began producing documentary films after years of conducting oral histories on topics relating to California's cultural history, such as the WWII Homefront, country music in the Bay Area, and Sikh immigration to the Central Valley. His last film, Broadcast Cowboy, screened at film festivals throughout the country and on PBS affiliates in the Bay Area; it was award the Best Documentary Short Film at the 2008 Cinequest Film Festival. Washburn is a past recipient of a grant from the California Council for the Humanities and former Junior Fellow at the American Academy of Political and Social Sciences. He was awarded a fellowship to Montalvo in support of Central Valley artists funded by the James Irvine Foundation. Washburn's current feature-length documentary is about the 1994 arson that destroyed the Islamic Center of Yuba City, located just north of Sacramento.
