Other Projects

In addition to writing books and articles, Richard has co-written a screenplay with Ruben Ruiz and Johnny Ferguson, who wrote Gangster No.1, directed by Paul McGuigan and starring Malcolm McDowell. The title is Tres Huevos/A Burning Thing. A coming-of-age drama set on the U.S.-Mexico border in 1965, it follows the trials of a fifteen year old Mexican-American boy named Alex. He has been raised Anglo by his mother in quiet suburban Tucson, and is now summoned abruptly to Mexico by his father, a cruel and brutal cattleman with a failing ranch just south of the border. With a colorful supporting cast including a folk healer, a beatnik uncle, Mexican cowboys and bordertown whores, the drama is played out during a hunt for a ferocious wild bull, worth a small fortune and reputed to have supernatural powers.

Tres Huevos/A Burning Thing is being represented by Tally Garner at Curtis Brown in London tally@curtisbrown.co.uk.

Richard has also been writing song lyrics.
