Documentaries
editIn 2019, Rob directed and produced Ocean Unite’s 30x30 environmental campaign film.[1] The film is narrated by Sir David Attenborough and features Sir Richard Branson and Shailene Woodley. The film premiered when Sir David Attenborough was awarded the 2019 Chatham House Prize by Her Majesty The Queen.[2]
In 2018, Rob directed the story of the Kodiak Queen, a decorated WWII warship that survived Pearl Harbour, transformed into an artificial reef and dive site by Sir Richard Branson. Narrated by Academy Award winner Kate Winslet, the film reminds us of the momentous task that lies ahead in restoring the British Virgin Islands after the destruction of Hurricane Irma. The Kodiak Queen was shared with a global audience by Sir Richard Branson on social media[3], as well as being distributed by Virgin Atlantic[4] and Virgin Media.[5] It is currently on the film festival circuit and has been officially selected for over 20 film festivals, winning numerous awards including the ‘Green Planet Award Grand Prize Short’ at the Rhode Island International Film Festival[6] and ‘Best of Show’ at the Impact Doc Awards (2019).[7]

Among those are three awards at the Oscar accredited Rhode Island International Film Festival (2011) including the coveted ‘Filmmaker of the Future’ award.[8] Hollow also won the ‘People’s Choice Award’ at the Aesthetica Short Film Festival (2012).[9]
Rob’s short film, Wednesday, is the story of a girl and boy born on the same day, at the same time, in the same hospital, whose paths cross again years later in the very same place. The film was executive produced by four-time Oscar-nominated director Stephen Daldry. Wednesday was selected for over 50 film festivals worldwide and received several awards, including ‘Best Short Film’ at the Fort Lauderdale Film Festival (2007)[10] and ‘Best International Short’ at the Garden State Film Festival (2007).[11]
