BIO for RICHARD SHAW

A pioneer in non-linear editing techniques, Mr. Shaw founded Z Post in 1994, and is nationally known as an industry specialist in the field of computerized digital non-linear editing. Shaw was Vice President of Digital Solutions, Atlanta, (DSI) and was one of the founders of the company. DSI specialized in digital editing, 3D animation and compositing for post production houses.

The move to Hollywood ten years ago to do more serious work prompted Shaw to form Pinlight LLC to focus more intently on film, HD and electronic media projects.

Current projects Shaw directed / edited include The Watchers, a documentary series available on DVD about the many UFO sightings around the world, hosted by LA Marzulli, a favorite on Coast to Coast AM. It also includes a 20 minute incredible interview with Dr. Roger Leir, most noted for his surgical removal of alien implants. Shaw now has completed three documentaries since the Fall of 2010 as part of the Watchers series. Watchers 3 was released to the public December 8th, 2011 and sold out of its first pressing almost immediately.

Shaw is also in further development as Director/Producer on "Torah Code 2012" a startling new documentary with the discovers of the Torah Code. During the process of development on this film, many new discoveries have been made. A small taste of this was inserted into Watchers 3, "Fingerprints of the Supernatural." Funding has slowed the process on the Torah Code 2012 film, but the Aegis Film Group has stepped up to be involved as a co-production partner.

Shaw is producer/director on The Wordz Project, in conjunction with CineVision International and AWI Films. The one-hour documentary filmed in high definition includes over a dozen rap artists, including Grammy-winning, The Bone Thugs -N- Harmony, The Last Poets, Blaxmyth, and newcomers like Pat's Justice, Skim, Pangy and Oblivion. The film is in distribution on DVD as well as iTunes. A newly updated version called "The Power of Words" received the Dove stamp of approval and will be releasing early February, 2011.

The film generated $404,000 in donations to AIDS orphans via Entertainment in Motion, the company that puts films on the airlines. He was also production designer/editor for the Hope For Africa series which was shot on-location in Johannesburg, South Africa.

He mastered and completed the special features for Leonardo DiCaprio's "The 11th Hour" DVD. He is one of the producers of Effects Shop, a pilot TV show about a highly specialized group of artists that create special effects for major motion pictures; i.e. Terminator 3, Constantine, My Super Ex-Girlfriend, Backdraft, and Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3. etc.
