Richard Stanley made his feature film directing debut with 1990’s acclaimed Hardware, starring Dylan McDermott and Fields of the Nephilim’s frontman, Carl McCoy. His second feature, Dust Devil, was an unconventional story of an otherworldly serial killer in South Africa, and has a rabid cult following due to its striking visuals and beautiful landscape photography, plus its decidedly Weird taint. He also has created a number of independent, award-winning documentaries, an adaptation of Clarke Ashton-Smith’s “Mother of Toads,” and wrote and directed H. P. Lovecraft’s Color Out of Space feature, produced by Spectrevision, starring Nicolas Cage, Joely Richardson, and Q’orianka Kilcher.
