As a studio creative executive, Robert has worked with the screenplay ideas performed by Cate Blanchett, Hugh Jackman, Sigourney Weaver, Matt Damon, Judi Dench, Russell Crow, Katie Holmes, Heath Ledger and many other stars. Robert has mentored hundreds of teenagers and adults in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Tasmania as they explore their own film idea and recreate it as a screenplay. Your privacy, ownership and the confidentiality of your idea is respected and supported.
