a few words from people I have worked with:

RAMI HILMI (Actor,AD,Director)

"Russ Diaper is an incredible young talented director. I had the pleasure and the privilege to work with Russ on two feature films, and I'm looking forward to work with him on many films to come in the future. Its quiet remarkable to see such a young person of his age, who has not just the passion, talent and focus, but also has a very professional attitude towards his approach of each project and his understandings of the filming process… Russ creates a great atmosphere on sets with his cast and crew which also spreads to the final product that put together. It's a blessing to have a person like Russ not just as a director / Composer / Editor, but as one of my close friends after working with him and making two excellent feature films. I remember hearing and knowing of his films a while back, I was very impressed of what this director can do, so I tried for sometime to find him and get in touch, as I wanted to work with this awesome talent, and what a joy it has been and the journey continues… Russ Diaper remind me of John Carpenter, a man with unique vision who makes a wonderful memorable films and scenes from the directing / editing and composing aspects, each film has a superb music score that Russ written originally for the film. He is an extremely talented filmmaker that delivers a diverse ideas and flicks to the screen."

 

DAMIAN MORTER (Actor, Director) (on My directing in 'deadly pursuit'):
"Deadly Pursuit is an all out action flick! Explosions, bullets, martial arts, girls and bombs! Running parallel to the action is an intense script, which will take you into the heart of Police corruption. The violence is brutal and the stunts are bone cracking!
Collaborating on the writing with Russ was a great experience, we would sometimes call each other all hours of the night with random ideas and sub plots sometimes waking the other up, and Russ' passion for the project was a real boost. Once Russ had everything he needed he sat down and wrote the shooting script Russ is a great visualizer and has enormous commitment to his work and the film is looking extremely good. He is young and passionate and is not afraid to take ideas and direction himself which makes him a joy to work with''

SCOTT LIVINGSTONE (Actor, Director) (on my directing in 'deadly pursuit')
I had the pleasure of acting for Russ in his latest film 'Deadly Persuit' and found as an actor Russ was an axcellent director and cameraman. He knew exactly what he wanted from me and fellow actors and also the shots he was looking for. He made the actors feel as ease and confident in their abilities, but also gave some great direction and feedback which helped the filming. It was extremely satisfying to watch the footage back and I can only recommend working with Russ as a director on any of his future productions.....if your lucky enough!!
