Richard Raymond is a British filmmaker known for his visually striking and emotionally impactful works. Born and raised in London, to an Indian family, Raymond developed a love for film from a young age and began making his own short films at the age of 15.

In 2015, he made his feature film debut with Desert Dancer, starring Freida Pinto, a biographical drama about the Iranian dancer Afshin Ghaffarian, which premiered at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival and received critical acclaim.

Raymond's follow-up film, Souls of Totality, was released in 2018 and starred Tatiana Maslany. It was the first film in history to be shot during a real solar eclipse. The film won awards at 12 International Film Festivals and solidified Raymond as a rising talent in the film industry.

In 2020, Raymond directed A Million Eyes, which was released to widespread praise for its thought-provoking and visually stunning portrayal of a young gifted photographer. The short film starred Joe Morton and Katie Lowes and won awards at 10 International Film Festivals, including being long-listed for the Oscar.

In 2009 Raymond produced the British feature Heartless, starring Jim Sturgess, Eddie Marsan and Timothy Spall. Raymond has also shadow directed a number of TV series including Homeland and Quantum Leap.

As a filmmaker, Raymond is not only dedicated to his craft, but also to giving back to the community. Through organizations such as YoungArts, he is a fierce advocate for arts education for young people in underprivileged areas, and has taken on the role of mentor to many young artists who may not have had access to guidance and support otherwise.

Additionally, Raymond has made a significant impact in the autism community through the creation of the Celebrity Chef Gala for Autism Speaks. Over the past 15 years, this event has raised an impressive $16 million to support their efforts to provide solutions for individuals with autism and their families throughout all stages of life.

Richard Raymond now resides in Los Angeles with his better half, Nousha, and their two children, Rumi and Bodhi.
