Richard is a Dublin, Ireland born director and editor. With a love of horror, it was obvious the choice for his first feature film would be a romcom; 2013's The O’Briens, which appeared in festivals worldwide. In early 2012, along with producer Alison Scarff and fellow filmmaker Michael McCudden, Richard co-founded the production company Weird Pretty Pictures, producing the mystery-thriller Sodium Party, followed by his second feature film as director; In A Stranger’s House. Off the back of that film's success, Weird Pretty Pictures produced the Ireland-set horror Bring Out The Fear, which has finally creeped its way into the world following its own battle with Covid. Aside from directing and editing for TV, Richard is a keen dog-lover, babying his King Charles Cavalier, as well as finding his Alsatian and Lurcher/Wolfhound the bestest boys. Richard also dabbles in soundtrack-esque music and enjoys trying to scare himself with whatever horror films he can find.
