THE BRITISH FILM DIRECTOR

Richard Janes started in the film industry at the age of 14 working as a child actor for Children’s BBC Dramas. During film school he worked at commercial company @Radical where he got to soak in cinematic masters including Tarsem and Terry Gilliam as they worked on spots for global brands. His graduation film received a Royal Television Society nomination and shortly after he shot his first feature film “FAKERS” which received a US theatrical release in ‘07.

 

After meeting his wife in Los Angeles Richard relocated to the states where he won a Los Angeles Area Emmy for his pilot “Behind the Lyrics”. He has high hopes for returning to the UK and is currently developing both US and UK projects including a Superhero movie for Disney and a bio pic on legendary leading man Errol Flynn which will go before the lens in spring ’09.
