About Rick

I am a storyteller who studied film directing in Los Angeles and earned a B.A in Cinema Production from the University of Hartford. I am also a graduate of the Connecticut Film Industry Training Program where I was trained as a camera operator on Panavison Cameras. While my interest in creating stories started at an early age, I realized my passion while attending a film-making class at the MGM Studios backlot at Disney in Florida.

I own my own production company R² Pictures based out of central Connecticut and recently finished my first feature film “Shoulder to Shoulder: One Team’s Legacy” . My films are a diverse variety of genres including Westerns “The Children of Angel Creek”, Sci-Fi “The Final Revelation”, Action-Adventure “The Last Americans” as we’ll as a WWII drama “Besteigung” which was selected for the Las Vegas CineFest as well as winning the the Film Accolade Awards “Award of Merit”.

Along with producing and directing my own projects, I have also produced and edited Live Sports Shows for TV for Anderson Productions and ESPN.
