DEBORAH RICHARDS
ABOUT
Next-gen writer/director Deborah Richards is part of a new wave of Hollywood filmmakers who rose from the ashes of a post-pandemic world and started their feature film careers during the 2020 shut down.
In 2015, while still in film school, Ms Richards won four Southwest Production Emmys® for her science fiction short, Boy Meets Girl, and has since directed a dozen shorts and over one hundred TV ads and web promos.
In 2022 she was crowned the Nevada Woman Filmmaker of the Year by the prestigious Nevada Women's Film Festival, and in 2023 her debut feature, Move Me No Mountain, was released on Amazon Prime & Tubi.
In 2024 she completed her second feature, Shaken & Stirred and is currently gearing up for its 2025 festival run and acquisition.
Deborah Richards owns her own production company, based in Las Vegas, and is also a founding member of 1905 Films, a boutique film studio focused on feature film development and production.
When Ms. Richards is not busy writing and directing her own films and passion projects, she freelances as a writer, director, editor, colorist, production designer, VFX artist, educator and public speaker.
Originally from England, she is a dog owner, former bartending world champion, and passionate advocate for the arts.
Deborah Richards is currently in development of her third feature film - Scissor Mouth.
