Richard has now turned his attention to making films, largely for educational institutions, which include The Peabody Conservatory, University of Baltimore, Cedar Crest College, The Purnell School, The Derryfield School, and Graceland University, among others.

On a parallel track, Richard has also been producing documentary films. His first documentary (2012) was "The Sudden Pianist", the fascinating story of Michael Hersch, contemporary composer/musician. This film was featured as an audience favorite at the American Documentary film festival in Palm Springs California and is available through Amazon. Richard recently finished his second documentary “Mike Morningstar: Here’s to the Working Man” (2017). It is the story of Mike Morningstar, a West Virginia singer/songwriter and Vietnam veteran. This film has already been featured in three film festivals, The West Virginia International Film Festival and The Workers Unite Film Festival in New York City, and most recently the Bare Bones Film Festival in Muscogee, Oklahoma. Richard has just begun a new Documentary to be titled “Auburn West Virginia”. It will examine the decline of the small town culture throughout Appalachia by telling the story of the people of Auburn, those who have stayed, and those who have left.
