Richard Booth(V)
- Director
- Cinematographer
- Producer
A writer/director whose films are characterised by human conflict and
the juxtaposition between tragedy and hope, he frequently paints
stories of introspective soul-searching against wide open canvasses of
rolling country hills and scenes of natural beauty. The inherent
dualism within his work began at a very young age; he wrote several
short stories, newspaper articles and play scripts before the age of
13. He soon realised that his interest in writing could be merged with
his love for film and the marriage of the two has so far produced an
acclaimed feature film and a series of short films and music videos.
His debut feature, Live for the Moment, was released in 2004 and its production was heavily influenced by the recent loss of Richard's father to terminal cancer, bringing a powerful emotional core to a story that examined the line between fate and chance, and tragedy and redemption.
