HD EXPO Asks Producer Profile: C. Rich Wilson - Founder-Producer: Apostrophe Films by Christine Purse
Chris Purse caught up Rich in the final stages of post production on "High Water." HDE: You’ve done three incredible but very challenging movies. How did you become a producer? Wilson: To be honest, it was kind of dumb luck. I was a director of a company that financed a number of different projects. These encompassed some entertainment properties, telecom and products that included 3D films for amusement parks. I had helped to grow that company and take it public. While that was a white-knuckle adventure, I definitely wanted a more creative career. One of the projects that the company had already begun to finance was "Step Into Liquid," directed by Dana Brown. Everyone knows that getting through any movie is hard work, and “Step Into Liquid” was definitely not exempt from the usual lot of misadventures. Towards the end of a fairly long production and edit, many had started to loose sight of the potential. So basically, Dana and I went into battle together, finished the thing and got it into distribution. It eventually became something special that people seem to care about. It served as a launching pad for the now two films that would follow. When "Dust to Glory" started to take shape, Dana and another producer on "Step," Scott Waugh, asked me to come on board and help. “Dust” was an even bigger adventure in a totally different way. We got through it and made what I believe is more than just a successful film, it shows our maturity as filmmakers, certainly, Dana’s. Right after “Dust” was released, it just seemed natural to create an entity under which we could house a number of projects. Not just our projects, but other filmmakers as well. I am also interested in leveraging some of the methods we’ve developed for making great films while mitigating financial risks. We hope that in very short order, there will be a clear understanding of what an Apostrophe Film is all about. "High Water" is the first start-to-finish Apostrophe Films feature film. More...
