Dolphin Heart Productions LLC
Description
Accomplished in many creative disciplines and hard-won business acumen, Craig Richards is often attributed as an award-winning producer, screenwriter, director and web entrepreneur.
In the trenches of feature film and series television production for more than 35 years, Craig is the founder and executive producer at Dolphin Heart Productions, the full-service feature film and series television production company he formed in 2006; the co-founder and first president of nonprofit Film Oregon Alliance; and, as an enthusiastic advocate of the skillful merging of enterprise and the arts, has served on several nonprofit boards since the mid-'70s and continues to serve causes as an advocate and volunteer.
At the dawn of the web in the mid-'90s - by then 20 years into two careers as an advertising executive/creative director and producer/writer/director/actor for film, television & radio - Craig created some of the earliest popular web apps for developers including AdminPro™ (file manager + App MD), BigSender™ (web-based contact manager + email/web publisher) and Envirolyzer™ (environment analyzer app); co-founded of one of LA's first web development firms; created FamilyReunion® the world's largest family social network™ and created and developed Intercheq® the web's only two-click pay-by-check solution™ - some of the reasons Mr. Richards is now being called a dotcom pioneer.
Craig Richards LLC was formed in 2006 to provide continued development, licensing and support services for its software titles, to manage other intellectual properties as well as to provide day-to-day operations and strategic management services for its companies FamilyReunion® LLC, Intercheq® Incorporated and Dolphin Heart Productions LLC.
Dolphin Heart Productions LLC has been in the industry since 1977.
