Richard was also First Assistant Director on short comedy BLESS THIS MESS, (2018), which won the Audience Award at The Iron Mule Short Comedy Festival later that year.

    His documentary, THE INFAMOUS FUTURE, (2021), showing the life's work of David C. Banks and the untold story of New York's Eagle Academy ran at nineteen festivals, winning several awards including Best Documentary at Bronze Lens - before being distributed by HBO Max.
