ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Rick Groleau is a multimedia producer who has spent most of his career at WGBH (Boston’s public television station), where he worked as a science writer, web producer, project manager, and editor (of content, not of film and video).
He has written, storyboarded, and produced over 100 interactive features, mostly for Nova, but also for the American Experience, This Old House, and Mystery.
He currently works at Harvard Medical School as a video producer/editor, focusing mainly on projects that help explain the research being conducted at the school.
Although Rick studied film and television production at Emerson College in the late 1980s, it wasn’t until about 2007 that he actually began to work on video and film projects. He submitted his first film to a festival in 2013. The film, which is about a father and son who surf 10 beaches in four states in five days, was an official selection of the Maine Outdoor Film Festival.
Since then, three other films have been shown at 12 festivals and have won Best Feature, Best Maine Film, and Best of Festival awards.
In 2015 Rick wrote his first screenplay — a short called The Old Yard. That script won Best Screenplay in the Massachusetts Independent Film Festival’s screenplay competition. It was also a finalist at the 2016 Boston International Film Festival. Another script, The Niagara Resolution, won Best Screenplay at the 2017 Massachusetts Independent Film Festival and was a finalist at the 2016 New York Short Film and Screenplay Festival.
