LEADERSHIP
Robert Craig
Founder
Before Robert Craig produced movies, his successful tenure at business started in 1996 where he founded a gutter guard manufacturing company. This business is one of the leading suppliers in the U.S. with offices in California and Tennessee.
While he grew the company to manufacture a quality gutter guard, along this journey, it was rated #1 by Consumer Reports magazine. Their products have been profiled on many networks including ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, The Discovery Channel, This New House, Renovation Nation, The Early Show and Cool Tools. Quality manufacturing is of paramount importance to Robert, which is why the products are highly rated on virtually every website they are sold.
Throughout the entire process of developing the company, he never missed an opportunity to produce very creative eye-catching videos for the products they manufactured.
Over the course of time at the company, Robert produced educational videos, training videos, how-to videos, TV commercials and informercials. Along with winning awards in video production, the creative and production experience laid the foundation for moving on into full-length feature films.
Even though Robert garnered numerous patents in developing new technology in the home gutter industry, to placate a lifelong passion to participate in the movie industry, he carved out time after hours and on weekends for years to evaluate potential film projects, attend key film industry conventions and even have screenplays written.
In 2019 he founded Robert Craig Films, the platform for which he planned to produce films. Not just any film, but movies of inspiration and hope, films that make people smile, films that bring a high level of entertainment with spiritually uplifting and redemptive, social impact storylines to the audience.
One of his first film projects was overseeing the development of his own screenplay, The Almighty Yes, of which he commissioned two award-winning screenwriters, John Graham and Alexandra Boylan to write. That screenplay won second place in the Kairos Pro Screenplay Awards through Movieguide.
As Robert Craig Films continues to grow, he leverages his life-long experience in guiding a path of success while avoiding the pitfalls that have derailed many hopeful start-ups. By tapping into his extensive business adventures, not letting emotions make the decisions, he has been able to greenlight several film projects. He relies on due diligence and careful review before giving a thumbs up.
Robert had the privilege of being an Executive Producer on the social impact film The Lost Girls, which enjoyed a LIFETIME Channel premiere. This award-winning film chronicles the story of a 16-year-old girl that gets sex trafficked and amplifies the importance of awareness that all parents and children must follow.
Not long afterwards, he helped out on another social impact film that also magnifies the reality of child trafficking, titled Maya. Working with Hollywood veteran Producer/Writer/Director Julia Verdin, Robert enjoyed the production experience and working with celebrities.
Along the way of producing with Julia, Robert purchased her screenplay Amy and Angel, an inspirational story about a young deaf girl that gets bullied, and her rescued dog and how they dance magically together while competing on a national TV talent show.
He’s currently producing two films, a movie called No Address and a documentary titled Americans With No Address. The movie is a full-length narrative feature about a group of people experiencing homelessness and how they try and find their way out and live normal productive lives. The documentary is a snapshot of the homeless crisis across the United States and shows what is working and what is not working to solve the problem. The hope and prayer is that these films will inspire true change in the country and rally people together in support of reducing homelessness.
Robert believes God has a plan for him to make quality films with redemptive messages. Through his faith in Jesus Christ, he looks forward to applying his creativity, business acumen and passion for making great movies that will ultimately inspire people to be more loving, kind and forgiving towards each other. This will definitely make the world a better place to live in and build God’s kingdom along the way.
