• ABOUT

  ABOUT

  • Born and raised in the Bronx, Richard Cruz makes films and music. By putting the viewer or listener on the wrong track, Richard attempts to create moments evocative of atmosphere and suspense that are not part of a narrative thread. His practice provides a useful set of allegorical tools for maneuvering with a pseudo-minimalist approach in the world of film and sound. Richard currently lives in Brooklyn.
