Richmond Riedel is the writer, producer, director, and editor of "Target Practice" and is the author of another dozen screenplays. He also wrote the original screenplay for the indie film "Charades" (starring C. Thomas Howell, Karen Black, Erika Eleniak, James Russo, Jack Scalia, and James Wilder). As an assistant editor, Richmond's feature credits include the movies "Fracture," "The Break-Up," "Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny," "Friday Night Lights," "The Last Shot," "The Recruit," "Hart's War," "Pay It Forward," "Frequency," Michael Mann's "The Insider," "Deep Impact," "John Carpenter's Vampires," "John Carpenter's Escape From L.A.," "Moonlight & Valentino," "A Pyromaniac's Love Story," "Blue Chips," "Rudy," "The Public Eye," and "The Decline of Western Civilization II: The Metal Years." Television credits include the series "Equal Justice" and the mini-series "Kingpin." It was this extensive background in film editing and storytelling that Richmond was able to exploit while pulling off his directorial debut on "Target Practice," using the many cinematic techniques he had honed over the years in order to develop the film's complex, tormented characters, build and sustain the unrelenting tension, and stage the film's many taut, complicated action sequences. Richmond is currently at work on a new screenplay. |
