Richard's Interests
General
As well as film making I enjoy watching films and videos at the cinema, festivals, on DVD and the web. I am also really into the countryside, regularly going cycling and walking. I particularly like going to local wildlife reserves and woodlands. I also keep fit by going to a local gym.
I am a vegetarian and into green issues. I have a educational background in science (Biology) try to keep my knowledge up to date via the web and New Scientist. Below are some more of the 80+ films I have worked on.

The Devils Feast is the first feature film shot on digital video to be made in the UK.
The film follows Chloe Mason is an up-and-coming conceptual artist whose controversial exhibition The Devils Feast has opened both to rave reviews and condemnation. Her work is sexual, political, provocative and blasphemous - and open to a wide range of interpretations. To some critics, she’s the new Picasso, to others her entire exhibition is a load of meaningless crap.
But whether Chloe Mason is any good or not is almost immaterial. The question is: what sort of person produces work like this? Through a series of flashbacks, we learn about Chloe and the series of events that have led up to The Devils Feast. I was producer, editor, camera and co-writer on this.
This one was the first drama I made with my partner Sharon Woodward, I was producer and camera and editor, put up before Youtube changed its rules - it is a lot longer than 10 minutes!
Worked as an editor on this one - Called The Rubbish Film - it is about a local dump and recycling centre and the characters that work and play there!
Also worked at as an editor on this one about a really Cool artist and musician who also happens to have downs syndrome
Another one I edited, looks at a traditional fair in Oxford in the UK and compares it to one in Tokyo in Japan
This ones called Goal Fever which I co-directed, co-edited and co-shot with Gem de Silva, it was part of a much bigger art installation at The Museum of Oxford which had over 7000 visitors. Its about Oxford Castle, which was a prison when we made it, we were the first to film the place, now its a museum and open to the public

From the the start of the campaign to the interviews with MP's Andrew Smith, Ed Vaizey, Evan Harris and Boris Johnson to the final petitions being taken to 10 Downing Street.
