Rich Christiano
In 1977, twin brothers Dave and Rich Christiano left their hometown
of Waterloo, New York and drove out to Hollywood, California with
high hopes and big dreams. Rich had written a high school script
called The Valedictorian and was hoping this would lead
to beginning a career in Hollywood. After negotiations with a few
producers and one contract offer, Rich never signed and the movie
was never produced. Then something happened that changed the whole
direction of the Christiano Brothers’ lives.
In October 2001, Rich wrote and directed Time
Changer, his first feature length movie. Rich teamed
with Kevin Downes who co-produced the project and Dave served
as his story consultant/script editor. The film featured actors
D. David Morin and Gavin MacLeod in the lead roles. A novel
version was released in January 2002. The movie came in October
2002 and the Christiano Brothers formed a new distribution
company, Five & Two Pictures, which released Time Changer.
After a number of film and video productions, Rich has produced
his latest film, entitled UNIDENTIFIED,
which began its theaterical release in April 2006 and should run
all summer with the DVD being release in November.
