Currently a senior at Interlochen Arts Academy in Interlochen,
Michigan, Richie has a passionate interest in all aspects of film as
well as many other art forms. In addition to being an avid filmmaker,
screenwriter and photographer, he also enjoys painting, graphic design
and screen-printing. Recently, Richie's Op-Art pieces have been
published in the Chicago Tribune & Providence Journal. Also, his short
documentary "The Pickle Guys", which takes an in-depth look at one of
the last independent pickle shops in America, has been accepted into
eight film festivals so far. Richie's most recent film "Absent", his
junior thesis at Interlochen Arts Academy, explores the results of a
household filled with excessive money, absent parents, and a son, tired
of it all. The film is on its way to the festival circuit. In addition
to Interlochen Arts Academy, Richie has attended classes at Parsons The
New School For Design and The International Center of Photography in
New York City and The Jacob Burns Film Center Media Arts Lab in
Pleasantville, New York. He has been published many times in the local

Literary Magazine. He has interned at the New York City Mayor's Office
of Media & Entertainment; Nola Pictures and MacGuffin Films; two of the
leading video production companies in the advertising industry. Richie
has immense support from his family and their dog Waltz. Richie
surrounds himself around everything art-related and enjoys almost every
minute of it.
