About Robert

I’ve directed 4 feature films, 3 of which I also wrote. I've written several other feature screenplays produced or in development, including the Chinese-produced THE LOST KINGS. Previously, I co-wrote and directed 2016’s romantic-dramedy IN-LAWFULLY YOURS, released on Netflix in over 100 countries. I also wrote and directed the family-drama SNOWMEN starring Ray Liotta & Christopher Lloyd, winner of Best Film awards from prestigious festivals including Tribeca, Dallas, and TIFF Kids. Additionally, I directed and served as head writer on the acclaimed web series CTRL for NBC Universal. Starring Tony Hale, the series shot to #1 on iTunes and was based on my short Ctrl Z, which won the Delta Shorts Competition presented at the Sundance Film Fest. In TV, I directed the holiday special THE CHRISTMAS ORANGE, an adaptation of the award-winning children’s book. Previously I wrote and directed animated & live-action segments for 7 seasons of Sesame Street.
