With his partner, Valerie Corrales, Rich has launched RICH D FILMS. "PATROL" is the first film produced by RICH D FILMS and is representative of films to come. Filmography filmmaker's note At a certain point something inside me says "ENOUGH!" After seeing news article after news article of Police Officers hurting even sometimes killing civilians, I think there was an explosion within me. I love New York City and I truly thank the Police Officers who risk their lives everyday for sake of our wellbeing. It is a position that takes a great deal of care and integrity. Which is probably why it bothers me so much when Officers abuse their power and hurt us. I wanted the viewers to feel as disturbed as I do with the thought of someone we trust, a Police Officer, hurting us. In this world where we are desensitized from images of action and violence I found it was less effective to show actual violence but powerful to sit with the perpetrators (two NYPD Officers) after they may have hurt someone. It is a quiet film that is meant to be powerful and thought provoking. Making this film is an effort to make a positive change in the world. related links
