MEET THE FILMMAKERS

Before finally losing his battle with tuberculosis in December 2020 Robert asked Santa Barbara based filmmakers Tom Piozet (Producer- Director) and Geoff Rockwell (Producer) to take over and complete his legacy film after production was paused in 2019.

 

Enchanted Matter is edited by Kathryn Himoff known for her work on the biopic’s, Georgia O’Keeffe which received nine Emmy and three Golden Globe nominations and Pollock the story of world-renowned artist Jackson Pollock directed by Ed Harris. Pollack earned Mr. Harris an Oscar nomination and best supporting actress Academy Award for Marcia Gay Harden.

 

The last feature doc collaboration between Tom Piozet (Producer-Director) and Kathryn Himoff (Editor) Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion won the SBIFF Audience Award and screened prominently at Toronto (TIFF) before going on to win awards on six continents. After a wide theatrical release, it became one of the original streaming titles on Netflix, and remained in their top thirty documentaries for five years.

Five-time Emmy-winning composer Jeff Beal consulted on Enchanted Matter. Craig Dobbin known for his love of world music and years scoring the hit television series NCIS completed this very special soundtrack to Robert’s artistic journey along with contributions from up-and- coming talent Darren Huang.
