The producer of 'Slave to the Rhythm' is Geoffrey Pryce and the
creator/director is Richard Hunt. These two combine 30 plus years
of broadcast television experience with another 30 years in the music
performing and recording industry (Geoff being an ex-professional
guitarist and more recently Technical Manager of Peter Gabriel's
RealWorld studios from 1995-2005). Throughout their respective careers,
they have remained true to their passion for audio visual expression
using both analogue and digital equipment. Today, they remain the best
of friends although living poles apart.
The
combination of their respective talents is a mix of an understanding of
high technology, new creative concepts and a true friendship and shared
goal that encourages each other for excellence. Put simply, Richard and
Geoff are the eyes and ears of this film series. A director behind the
camera and an audio guru recording every sound makes for the ideal
traveling documentary team. Combine that with a great understanding of
post-production and their close creative connection and you have
something more.
The use of High-Definition Videography and 7.1 Surround Sound, brings to
the world an extraordinary interactive DVD collection made with serious
dedication and an unrelenting love for world music. Stay tuned for
'Slave to the Rhythm' a one hour musical journey to Brazil!

RICHARD
HUNT - Directing / Cinematography -
Since beginning in broadcast
television in 1977, Richard has produced a lot of his own material
whether it be advertising, documentary, lifestyle or reality TV. He
loves creating and blending the perfect ingredients for TV entertainment
- namely ‘colour and movement’ driven by good storylines. His strengths
lie in his ability to breathe pictorial life into great ideas and
scripts by generating powerful pictures that plainly speak for
themselves. Hunt attended the UCLA Film School in 1991 where he studied
Directing Actors for Film, High-Definition Electronic Cinematography and
Directing the Documentary.
'Slave to the Rhythm' is Richard's greatest
work to date after 31 years of broadcast television experience as a
Camera Operator and Director. Combining the use of High-Definition
vision with 7.1 Surround Sound audio, he brings together this
fascinating documentary on 'rhythm'. Part One -
Brazil - is available now.
