He has a home here and is obsessed with Mallorca. This place just gets some people, and they end up spending most of their working lives promoting it. David has a house in Soller with his main family home in Kerry. David was introduced to the area in the 1980’s when his mother bought a house near Deya.

That was the beginning of a love affair with the Island which has got stronger over the years. As a young film maker, he could see a story and a shot round every corner and the island has become the corner stone of his career. He started spending so much time here filming that to buy a house himself was the next stage. In 2001 he achieved his ambition and downtown Soller was his choice.

David has a film company called Inproduction TV which specialises in food and travel documentaries: inproduction.tv. His company is one of the leading suppliers of sponsored broadcasting in Ireland with the programmes sold worldwide. RTE the broadcaster is one of Inproduction’s biggest clients, they have an equal love affair with Spain and yearly programmes are commissioned. This is alongside work for PBS in America, BBC, Channel 4 and other worldwide broadcasters.

David has travelled every inch of Spain working with celebrity chefs and other fascinating people. He always has his radar set on the Soller Valley so it’s no surprise that many include his Soller world. Soller works include chefs Myrtle Allen, Neven Maguire and Rory O’Connell, artist Alwyn Crawshaw plus the Soller Train for Ferrocarril and Olive Oil for Mallorca’s Department of Agriculture.

A quick add up found that David has made films which include Mallorca in 1990, 1991, 2004, 2005, 2009, 2011, 2019, and 2021. Irish viewers of RTE are amongst his biggest fans and they love the current series which is a yearly jaunt with Chef Neven Maguire as he goes on one of his food trails around the island. 

David Hare is a Human of Mallorca and continues to promote this glorious place.
