Biography – Richard Stanley

Born in South Africa, Stanley was first exposed to the moving image at the age of four when his father brought home a 16mm print of ‘King Kong’(1934) Like many budding film makers, he “started messing around” with Super 8 movies as a child. “I was a huge Ray Harryhausen fan and managed to mail-order his book, Film Fantasy Scrapbook” Stanley recalls.

Formal film education did not exist in South Africa at the time but his father fed his dreams, by giving young Richard a copy of the novel, The Island of Dr. Moreau. Through his youth, he worked on a screenplay based on the novel. In 1989 a short film written and directed by Stanley, RITES OF PASSAGE, a portrait of a neolithic hunter in primordial Africa, won the IAC International Student Film Trophy, beating out work from UCLA and USC and drawing sufficient interest and funding to create the Cape Town Film and Video School, the first educational facility of its kind on the subcontinent. Stanley found gainful employment as a camera man, documenting tribal dance and initiation rituals for the South African College of Music and began work on his first 16mm feature project DUST DEVIL.
