Biography

John C. Richards hails from Rochester, New York. After residing in Canada and New Orleans, he relocated to Los Angeles to pursue a writing career. One of his short stories inspired the screenplay for the film "Nurse Betty," which won the Best Screenplay Award at the Cannes Film Festival. As the only American film to receive an award that year, "Nurse Betty" was also nominated for an Edgar Award. Renée Zellweger earned a Golden Globe for her performance in the lead role. Richards provided the uncredited voiceover narration for "American History 'X,'" directed by Tony Kaye, and adapted the screenplay for Clive Cussler's novel "Sahara," starring Matthew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz, under the direction of Breck Eisner. His feature-length adaptations also include "Vivo," based on Louis de Bernières' novel "Señor Vivo and the Coca Lord," and Elmore Leonard's "Tishomingo Blues." In 2018, he received a Writers Guild Award nomination (Long Form) for "Paterno." Produced by HBO, "Paterno" tells the story of the downfall of Penn State coaching legend Joe Paterno, starring Al Pacino and directed by Barry Levinson. In 2022, Richards directed the short film "The Picnic Basket," which won the 2023 Gold Remi Award for Best Narrative Short at the WorldFest Houston International Film Festival.
