Upon graduating with a BFA in Motion Picture/Television Production from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco in 2007, Richard Enriquez worked in documentaries before working in production on his first feature film, “Gus Van Sant’s Milk.” While working for and eventually directing the Second Wind Theatre Company, he continued in production doing commercials, and television in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York before being called by Pixar for Andrew Stanton’s “John Carter of Mars.” As Assistant to Producer Colin Wilson (“Munich,” “War of the Worlds,” “Avatar”) he worked in production during prep and locations and visual effects while shooting on location in Big Water, Kanab, Delta, and Moab. After working in the art department and visual effects during post-production for “Carter,” he produced shorts for the Previsualization Society before leaving Pixar and moving to the UK to work on the Brad Pitt feature “World War Z,” again assisting the producers while shooting on location in London, Malta, Glasgow, and Budapest. Richard now lives in Los Angeles and is currently working in the post VFX department for Sony’s reboot of Philip K. Dick’s “Total Recall.”
