About RT

RT Herwig's debut feature, "Saint Christopher" (aka "The Good Thief"), not only garnered acclaim at festivals and private screenings but also secured global licensing and distribution through Rogue Arts and Vanguard Cinema.

Herwig's filmmaking ethos is deeply rooted in a profound belief in individuality, a rejection of mindless conformity to tradition, and an exploration of the human struggle against societal expectations and arbitrary rules imposed by others. With a keen eye for visual artistry and a passion for delving into the human condition, he has consistently received praise for capturing rich narrative moods and eliciting authentic performances from actors.

Currently immersed in his second feature, "Surfing in Afghanistan," RT Herwig continues to push boundaries with a thought-provoking tale. The film follows a disillusioned American Marine and an Afghan soldier as they venture across war-torn Afghanistan to go surfing a thousand miles away in Pakistan. This exploration aligns seamlessly with Herwig's commitment to stories celebrating those who dare to walk away from groupthink, systems, and societal norms to embrace their unique path.
