In 2007 Richard formed Directional Entertainment, LLC with director Mark Landre Gould. Richard produced, directed and edited over 200 episodes of the TV show "Education A Higher Calling" for the TBN network, and in 2018, Richard produced, edited and served as the music supervisor for "Gone Are the Days", a Lionsgate distributed western period drama starring Lance Henriksen, Danny Trejo and Tom Berenger. He was a co-writer and producer of the 2022 Indie feature "Sooyii" featuring a full Native American cast, and shot entirely on the Peigan Blackfoot reservation in Montana in native Blackfeet and Shoshone.
Richard is a co-writer and producer of a Mahalia Jackson feature biopic now in development at Amazon Studios, starring Jill Scott in the title role, and produced in conjunction with Foxxhole, Flavor Unit, and Releve Entertainment, and is developing two true story dramatic features, "0 Seconds" (along with an accompanying documentary "Rise & Breathe Live"), centered on the current veteran suicide crisis in the United States, and "Red Sea Journal", the true story of an isolated Peace Corps workers desperate journey to escape war torn Yemen during its first Civil War, as well as a fictional action-thriller titled "Big Bend", a neo-western set against the border crisis and on-going conflict between generational ranchers and violent international drug cartels.
Richard is also the co-creator, along with director and partner Mark Gould, of "Daddy's Little Girl", a cable true crime thriller based on a purported Midwest serial killer in the 1980's, and his twisted relationship with his adolescent daughter, and "Big Mike's Beer Run", a reality TV show centered around the craft beer industry. Both are in development for a minimum three-year series deal.
