R.L. Strong made his first short film at the age of 8, using his
Father's Bell & Howell 8mm. He continued experimenting with Stop-Motion
Animation, throughout his early teens, always at the chagrin of his
Mother who decried the use of her freezer as a storage area for his
Plasticine actors.
During his Junior year of High School, R.L. became involved with Producer/Director T.V. Mikels and worked as an intern on several of his films, gaining experience. That experience lead to more intern work for Roger Corman's New World Pictures, R.l. Worked with many of the Corman Alumni, and through that experience moved onto paying gigs working with many independent filmmakers.
Gaining respect from many filmmakers for his almost encyclopedic knowledge. He has been been an on air critic for NPR, KROQ, KCRW and other notable stations. he has also been invited on several podcasts, most notably "Podcast on Fire", a show devoted to Asian Film appreciation.
His short film "Heartfelt" received special notice from the Valley Film Festival for bringing visual depth to an haunting insular story of loss and longing. The film is told without dialogue, and while flawed showed great promise.
