After producing and directing a slate of short films which picked up numerous awards internationally, Richard wrote and produced the feature film ‘Gorgeous’, which screened at the Raindance Festival. He went on to produce the feature film ‘AKA’ which has garnered a number of prizes, including a BAFTA nomination. ‘AKA’ also got theatrical distribution in the UK and US, and sold well internationally. He is currently developing the feature film ‘Die laughing’ with co-writer Billy MacKinnon, to be directed by Gillies MacKinnon and starring Brenda Blethyn and Thomas Turgoose and Brian Cox.What do you love?
I am a film maker, writer and musician who loves working collaboratively and hates the vast expanses of time in between projects. And hopefully next I am going to Glasgow for 3 months to prepare and shoot the feature film that we've been working on for 8 years.
What fascinates you?
Fascinated by 'the human spirit struggling in an enigmatic universe'- that sounds so pretentious- can we come up with something less pretentious? Help!
