Comment: Hi. I’m sorry, but the sourcing here isn’t helping the subject meet our General Notability Guidelines. Two of the sources focus on his film, not necessarily him, and the others are passing mentions or primary sources.We need *significant* in-depth coverage (that is independent of the subject) in notable major media outlets or by notable publishers about David Schendel. Examples: magazine and newspaper reviews and features about David Schendel specifically; books or peer-reviewed white papers written ABOUT David Schendel; television and radio features ABOUT David Schendel. If those are available, please improve this submission. If not, then it might not be the right time (WP:TOOSOON for David Schendel to have a Wikipedia article.I hope you will consider improving existing Wikipedia content about other subjects of interest! If you have any questions please ask them at WP:TEAHOUSE. Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia! Missvain (talk) 22:37, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Born in Springfield, Massachusetts, and raised in Minnesota, Schendel grew up influenced by the arts, as his father Alfred Schendel was an artist (designer/painter/photographer).
Schendel graduated from the University of Washington School of Drama, in which he initially began his career in live-theatre directing before committing his skills to filmmaking. His first feature-length film titled "The Can" premiered at the Coolidge Corner Theatre in Boston, Massachusetts. Early in his career, Schendel honed his filmmaking skills by assisting Sven Nykvist, Allen Daviau, Jerry Bruckheimer, Michael Bay and Errol Morris.
