 David Millin was born in Cape Town in 1920 to Harry Millin and his wife, Millie (born Urdang).  He was educated at Selborne College in East London, the city where his father had taken over the Royal Hotel.  In 1937 he settled in Johannesburg and as a young man he worked in a garage, was a window display assistant, worked for wholesale jewellers, and sold cameras and projectors, but in 1941 he had an opportunity to enter the film industry when he joined [[African Film Productions]].  Initially he was in the props department, but then became an assistant to cameraman [[G.F. Noble]] and subsequently became a fully-fledged cameraman himself.
-Like everyone else, he contributed to the [[African Mirror]] newsreel and worked on a range of documentaries directed by the likes of [[Joseph Albrecht]], [[Kurt Baum]] and [[Emil Nofal]].  His first feature as cinematographer was ''[[Zonk!]]'' ([[Hyman Kirstein]]/1950) and the following year he handled the second unit photography on two prestigious British productions, ''Where No Vultures Fly'' (Harry Watt) and ''[[Cry, the Beloved Country]]'' ([[Zoltan Korda]]).  On the first he was joined by his nephew, [[Roscoe C. Behrmann]], as uncredited 3rd assistant director.  Amongst the features he shot were [[Emil Nofal]]’s ''[[Song of Africa]]'' (1952) and two films by [[Bladon Peake]], '''[[Hans-die-Skipper]]''' (1952) and ''[[Inspan]]'' (1953).  A documentary he directed for the [[State Information Office]], ''[[Guardians of the Soil]]'' (1955), was shown at the Cannes Film Festival.

 In 1956, Millin and Behrmann left [[African Film Productions]] to form their own production company, [[David Millin Productions]].  They had an American television deal to produce a half-hour series entitled ''Stories out of Africa'' and after the contract expired the company produced television commercials for Rhodesian television and training shorts for government departments and the mining industry.  The first feature in which the company was involved was ''[[Donker Afrika]]'' (1957), which was a co-production with [[Al Debbo]], and this was followed by nine other features, amongst them ''[[Seven Against the Sun]]'' (1964), adapted from the novel and stage play by [[James Ambrose Brown]], and ''[[Majuba, Hill of Doves]]'' (1968), based on a novel by [[Stuart Cloete]].  Most of these films were production deals with [[S.A. Screen Productions]], [[Killarney Film Studios]] or [[20th Century Fox]] (all the same company under different names at different times).
