Hi, I’m Rich.
An award-winning director, executive producer, and writer. In short, a Creative Producer.To most, a producer interfaces with clients, develops, budgets, schedules, organizes, and manages projects–you know, type-A stuff. But a ‘creative‘ is the unhinged, unpredictable element who handles the imaginative stuff. The writing. Visualizing. Directing. Shooting. Editing. Storytelling. You know, the artsy stuff.
I live in the center of that venn diagram. I’m primarily a director. The creative lead on projects. My genre is imagination. Sometimes that’s funny, sometimes sad, sometimes educational, informational, ominous, explosive. It’s children and animals and cars and military and award-winning films–even musicals.
But I’m also a producer. That means logistics and budgets, schedules and organization, moving and shaking. I take a client’s scribbled notes and turn them into a tangible project. I put crews together and bring concepts to life. I make sure that when you catch the fish, we’ve got the right people there to film it.
I’m a contradiction. A novelist and a sandsculptor. A scuba diver and a skier. An artist. A stickler. I’m linear. I’m squiggly. I’ll color in the lines. I’ll set it on fire.
So when people ask me, ‘what is a Creative Producer?’ I just like to say,
I bring great ideas to life.
My Portfolio
I work with brands, agencies, and production companies to impact audiences, showcase brands, and tell stories that need to be told.
Meet Richard.
My passions are imagination, humor, and adventure.
I’m a director, writer, and executive producer. I love to work with others to explore imagination, adventure, and humor both in front of and behind the camera.
With over 15 years telling creative stories, I’ve crafted, visualized, produced, promoted, and marketed for everyone from universities to the military, non-profits to Fortune 500’s, ad execs to Hollywood moguls. That work has so far resulted in over 75 industry awards and millions of bad puns along the way.
I also love to direct narrative films, and am ambitiously pursuing my first feature film. I just need to finish the darn script.
But my passions extend beyond a film set.
Mostly, I’m an adventure seeker. I constantly search out new ways to experience this big spinning ball we all live on and enjoy the company of others. I’m a fencer, scuba diver, skier, traveler, horseback rider, haunted house employee, bonfire aficionado, sci-fi nerd, BMX biker, and even a sand sculptor.
I thrive on connecting with people and learning about their worlds. Drop me a line and let’s see what kind of trouble we can get up to together.
A bit of recognition.
Although it’s never necessary, it’s always appreciated. Over the course of my time as a filmmaker, I’ve worked with incredible teams, crews, and clients to create projects that turned heads, garnered attention, and racked up a few accolades. Check out a few of the awards my projects have received.
