Richard O'Sullivan (film Maker)
R.J. O'Sullivan (born Richard James O'Sullivan; June 10, 1968) is an American screenwriter, director, producer, cinematographer, film editor, novelist, and founder of Lost Colony Entertainment. Film career O'Sullivan began his career as a film producer in 2001, packaging a dark political comedy around a script he had written several years earlier, entitled ''How to Suck the Brain of a President's Daughter''. Independent financing was raised; actors Anthony Stewart Head, Lindsay Felton, and Tanya Roberts were attached to star in the film; and Roddy Bottum (from the band Faith No More) came aboard to provide the musical score.

In 2003, after scripting a straight-to-video release called ''AfterLife'', O’Sullivan began working as a writer for the NBC television network's Peabody and Emmy Award-w ...

Independent Film
An independent film, independent movie, indie film, or indie movie is a feature film or short film that is produced outside the major film studio system, in addition to being produced and distributed by independent entertainment companies (or, in some cases, distributed by major companies). Independent films are sometimes distinguishable by their content and style and the way in which the filmmakers' personal artistic vision is realized. Usually, but not always, independent films are made with considerably lower budgets than major studio films. It is not unusual for well-known actors who are cast in independent features to take substantial pay cuts for a variety of reasons: if they truly believe in the message of the film; they feel indebted to filmmaker for a career break; their career is otherwise stalled or they feel unable to manage a larger commitment to a studio film; the film offers an opportunity to showcase a talent that hasn't gained traction in the studio system; or ...

Based on this assessment, it determines the topics that the student is ready to learn and allows the student to choose from interactive learning modules for these topics. ALEKS was initially developed at UC Irvine starting in 1994 with support from a large National Science Foundation grant. The software was granted by UC Irvine's Office of Technology Alliances to ALEKS Corporation under an exclusive, worldwide, perpetual license.
