Rick Burns






Rick Burns is a writer, director and producer of historical documentaries. It was very obvious we came up on stage his passion for making documentary films by the beautiful words he used to explain his work and just how excited he was to be up there showing his newest film. I really enjoyed his new documentary about the whaling industry and the whaling ship that capsized. His documentaries are full of life and are always keeping the audience entertained. From what I saw from the documentary Mr. Burns showed us, it appears to me that he uses a lot of archival footage and also uses the “voice of God” narration. His documentary also seems to be scripted, some scenes even looked like they might have been acted out which added to the entertainment. I really liked his documentary and thought it was a very intriguing and unique subject matter he chose for the film. Rick Burns is a very talented and humorous individual and am glad I was given the opportunity to meet him.
