Robert Richards(XVI)
- Producer
Robert is a Writer/Director/Producer who draws from his own personal life experience for his material, writing mostly auto-biographical or semi-autobiographical narratives, and in themes of redemption, justice/injustice, familial and societal dysfunction, and crime. To date, he has, exclusively, directed his own work.
Although Robert is relatively new to filmmaking, a life long history of hustling - first on the streets of Vancouver, B.C, then, around the beaches of L.A. and Orange County, Ca, followed by a couple years on the yards of the California State Prison System, and finally back home, in Vancouver's rabid real estate market - has prepared him well for the fast paced hustle of film production and networking. His vast lived experience afford him endless material to draw from.
Robert is an opinionated writer, with a strong will and vision to express his learned perspectives on the world as it functions today. His experience on the front lines of some of North America's most controversial areas of reform have given him unique insights that resonate with his audience members, who too, have lived through extremely adverse experiences; while fascinating and provoking thought in the minds of those that haven't, just the same.
