Chantelle Richards is a multi-talented filmmaker from Akron, Ohio, now based in Columbus, Ohio, whose work is rooted in authenticity, faith, and emotional truth. She serves as the Chief Executive Officer of RBM Royalty Production and the Chief Operating Officer of 5 Stage Film Commission, where she leads with strategic vision, creative excellence, and purpose-driven storytelling.
With over seven years in the independent film industry, Chantelle has built a powerful presence as a Director, writer, producer, and editor. Her body of work includes Luke Warm, Fragile Bonds, Possible Love, Unjust, Tech-No, and more. Luke Warm received international recognition as the Onirios Best Inspirational Film award winner, further solidifying her commitment to impactful, faith-centered cinema.
Known for her resilient leadership and collaborative spirit, Chantelle believes filmmaking is a team endeavor-one driven by creativity, trust, structure, and shared purpose. Her ability to balance operational leadership with artistic vision allows her to guide projects from concept to completion while maintaining emotional depth and cinematic excellence.
Long before stepping into film professionally, Chantelle carried a deep love for writing, music, and poetry. Storytelling has always been her language. As a child, she was rarely without a camera, instinctively capturing moments and imagining worlds beyond the frame. What began as curiosity evolved into calling.
For Chantelle, film is more than craft-it is assignment. When she directs or writes, she first sees the story visually-fully formed in her mind-then shapes the dialogue and structure to match the vision. Her work is marked by emotional depth, spiritual reflection, and a commitment to narratives that inspire transformation, healing, and hope.
Through both RBM Royalty Production and 5 Stage Film Commission, Chantelle continues to expand her impact-building legacy through storytelling that moves hearts, shifts perspectives, and leaves audiences changed.
