Robin C. Farrell

    Salutations!  Welcome to my website.

   As a recent graduate of Stevenson University (formerly Villa Julie College), with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Film/Video/Theatre, I am working towards fulfilling my ambitions to become a professional Director/Screenwriter/Filmmaker/Many-Varied-Ever-Growing-Artist.  I have studied with actual film as well as video, I have developed a thorough understanding and experience in all aspects of pre-production, production and post-production.

     I believe very highly in the art form of filmmaking and the craft of telling a good story, no matter the medium.  My personal interest of films ranges all over every genre and I have high respect for each of them.

     As an individual artist, I search for opportunities as a Script Supervisor or Production Assistant on the Independent Film circuit where I live, here in Maryland.  My areas of primary expertise and interest are Writing, Directing, Videography, Editing, Sound & Audio, Photography, Acting, and Advertising/PR.  Myself and a friend/colleague officially started Vertigo Spark Entertainment, a small production company in the Washington D.C. area.

     I have a strong interest in the Fantasy genre and Adaptation films.  It is here that I intend to invest my personal creativity and projects.  I have a few in the works at the moment - be sure to check out my Projects Page for more on those.

 Some of the films that have influenced me:

Angles in America (the HBO Miniseries), The Birdcage, Contact, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Field of Dreams, French Kiss, The Italian Job, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Maltese Falcon, A Midsummer Night's Dream (1999), Pride and Prejudice (1995), The Princess Bride, Shakespeare in Love, The Original Star Wars Trilogy, Tootsie, V for Vendetta, While You Were Sleeping.

Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Cars, Corpse Bride, The Emperor's New Groove, Hoodwinked!, The Iron Giant, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Mulan, The Prince of Egypt, The Sword in the Stone, Toy Story

"I think we are part of a greater wisdom than we will ever understand. A Higher Order. Call it what you want. You know what I call it? The Big Electron... It doesn't punish. It doesn't reward. It doesn't judge at all. It just is. And so are we. For a little while . . . "
