RICHARD CAESAR is looking back at more than two decades of directing feature film, TV, commercials and theatre. The Munich Film School (HFF) graduate wrote several screenplays in German and English, owned a VFX production company and works as a photographer since film school days.
DIRECTOR. Ric’s feature film “The Calling“ was produced by Bernd Eichinger (“The Downfall”, “The Name of the Rose”), shot with international cast in Great Britain and released all over the world. Before this, Ric wrote and directed the highly awarded 40min. sci-fi “Fantasy for a New Age”, which gave him the opportunity of working with legendary cameraman and Academy Award winner Vilmos Zsigmond (“The Deer Hunter”, “Heaven’s Gate”). Ric’s graduation film “Concierto Evolución” was seen by over 500.000 spectators on the world fair in Seville, earned multiple international awards and was screened in more than 400 US cinemas.
In recent years, Ric has directed dozens of commercials for mayor international agencies and brands in countries such as Germany, the UK, Argentina, New-Zealand, Russia, South Africa and India (L’Oréal, Nivea, Telekom and many more).
WRITER. Ric is writing screenplays in German and English. Recent work includes three 60-minute episodes for the new German prime-time series “Mordsschwestern” (ZDF), as well as concept and pilot for the mini-series “Waking Demons” and concept and outline for the 90-minute thriller “Slaves” (all together with writer Sabine Radebold).
PHOTOGRAPHER. Ric started as a photographer and has always remained true to this passion. When shooting commercials, he often combines directing with photography and occasionally works as a director/DoP or takes care of the second camera in addition to directing.
