"EYEBORGS"
Principal Photography Completed!

This summer saw production of Eyeborgs, my first feature length motion-picture based on an original story and screenplay co-written with my wife, Fran.

The film tells of a near future where government surveillance has reached unprecedented levels, including the use of mobile, robotic surveillance cameras called Eyeborgs. But someone is using the Eyeborgs to do more than just watch. After several mysterious deaths an agent for the Department of Homeland Security (Adrian Paul) comes to believe terrorists have seized control of our system and are using the robots against us in a plot to assassinate the President.

Adrian Paul stars, along with Megan Blake, Luke Eberl and Danny Trejo as "G-man" (pictured, with Luke Eberl).

Visit the EYEBORGS web site for clips, trailers and updates as they become available. Now in post production, our hope is to find a US domestic theatrical release in the fall of 2008. Watch here and on the Eyeborgs website for updates.

"LITTLE CHICAGO" - Coming on DVD!

Little Chicago, which I directed, will be available on DVD from York Entertainment, November 13th, 2007. You can preorder the movie right now from them or on Amazon.com. The film was written by Scott Miles and stars Scott Miles (October Sky), Earl Poitier (Drumline, Remember the Titans), Chris Coppola (Simone, Polar Express) and Adrian Paul (Highlander). For details visit the Little Chicago web site.

WHO AM I?:

My name is Richard Clabaugh, I am a filmmaker, formerly of Los Angeles, currently living and teaching in North Carolina. Most of my recent work has been as a Director of feature films, however the largest bulk of my work over the years has been as a cinematographer, which is a fancy way of saying I'm a cameraman who shoots movies. You can usually find my name listed in the opening credits, or on the video box, under "Director of Photography." See credits and links at the left for details of the films I've done and the people I've worked with.

Most recently I have completed directing the feature film Eyeborgs. My previous directing credits include Little Chicago (photo to right) and before that the off beat, campy-killer-snake flick, Python. (Follow the Python link for all the campy details on that one.) I am also a founding partner of CRIMSON WOLF PRODUCTIONS, LTD., a North Carolina based independent production company. Currently we are in preproduction, post production and delivery on multiple feature projects targeted for various markets.

I am also an instructor with the North Carolina School of the Arts where I teach cinematography and special effects at the School of Filmmaking.

Along with my teaching I continue to be active in the motion-picture industry as a filmmaker with several current and future projects actively in development.

I am known to many as "The Man in the Red Shirt" because, well, I tend to wear a lot of red shirts. That's also why these pages have a "red" motif.

These pages exist to provide information on the projects I've been associated with over the years (now decades) in the industry and as a place for me to express myself. I hope you enjoy what you find and encourage you to contact me using the information provided at the bottom left of this page if you have any questions or comments you'd like to share.

WHAT'S HERE?:

Lots of stuff, photos and information from movies I've worked on, a few of which you may actually even have heard of before. You can find copies of my resume, a complete credit list, photo pages from films I've done, family stuff, pictures and notes and more.
