He earned an Emmy nomination for NBC’s Terrific Trucks (losing to none other than Big Bird). He gained international acclaim for his indie feature Sideboob, a dramatic comedy about toxic masculinity in Toronto’s Burning Man dance scene, which won Best Feature Awards at festivals like Boomtown. His thriller web series, Damaged, earned Best Interactive Series at the 2019 Rockie Awards and a Canadian Cinema Editors nomination.
In recent years, Richard directed three seasons of VICE TV’s Dark Side of the 90s and helmed the hit game show reboot Cash Cab Music for GameTV and AXS TV. His elevated horror short film Blood Line, executive produced by Vincenzo Natali, was nominated for Best Short Film at the 2024 DGC Awards and showcased at top festivals such as Macabro in Mexico City and Toronto After Dark.
Richard is currently in post-production on his latest horror short, Meat Crayon, and developing his next feature, Blood Clot, which follows a team of social workers who uncover a homeless encampment protected by a coven of vampires.
