Richard Carroll

Writer/Director

With over 20 years of experience in film and media production, I’m the director and owner of Carrollfilm, a company that develops and produces engaging, impactful, and original films that reflect my passion for storytelling, visual art, and social issues. 

I’ve written, directed, and executive produced films that have spanned various genres and formats, from true crime to contemporary art, from short to feature length, from entertainment to education. Some of my works include “Rough Diamond”, a feature documentary and drama series in development, “7th&Hill”, a documentary set in downtown Los Angeles, (award winner at AmDocs from Oliver Stone), and “Imagineering”, an artwork for British artist Ryan Gander. I’ve also collaborated with renowned figures such as Al Gore, Johnny Depp, Denis O’Hare, and Holly Woodlawn. My films have been broadcast, screened, and exhibited in many platforms and festivals worldwide, such as the BBC, The Sundance Channel, Short Shorts Tokyo, Clermont Ferrand, and Tribeca. 

In addition to long-form projects, I‘ve also directed and produced advertising, branded content, and film commissions for clients such as Fox Sports, BBC, The Egyptian Government, GSK, Rolls Royce, The Refugee Council, Glenfiddich, Emirates, Cancer Research, British Airways, Sony PlayStation, Nissan and Audi. I’ve directed shoots in studios, sets, stages, and locations in many territories worldwide, especially in the UK and Los Angeles, and worked with some of the best cinematographers in the industry. The mission is to create films that are visually stunning, emotionally compelling, and socially relevant.
