“I was in the trenches with Richard “Butch” Franc for 10 years on Australian Survivor. A production of truly mammoth scale that requires a director capable of managing hundreds of crew and several dozen cameras to capture lightning fast action in real time. And make it look great! It’s the Superbowl of reality TV that few can conquer but Butch brought home the trophy every season. And despite the intensity of the job his sense of humor never wavered keeping it fun for everyone. I would work with Butch again in a heartbeat

“Richard’s work doesn’t just ‘get us the shots’, his work adds a creative edge to the coverage that makes it not only well covered, but also editorially exciting”
“I’ve worked with Richard for over ten years on many different reality and entertainment formats. Richard is a highly skilled director with a creative eye and great instincts for the action and the story. He’s also an accomplished live sports director. I would strongly recommend Richard for any reality, studio or live tv broadcasts.
