This site is principally the portfolio and blog of Filmmaker and Photographer Richard Moos.

For over 30 years Rich has been an award winning producer, director, DP, and editor. He has an extensive background in feature film and commercial television production and is the founder of Cathartic Filmworks, an independent film production company that produced features, documentaries, digital media, and commercials. The company’s first feature, “Squeeze,” was sold to and released by Miramax while Bob and Harvey were still running things. For ten years he served as the Director, IFAW Film Unit, at the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), a global non-profit organization that works to rescue and protect animals around the world. Based out of the world headquarters on Cape Cod, he steered the media production for all fourteen country offices. He shepherded the development, production, and release of IFAW’s first feature documentary Huntwatch, which he served as Producer, DP, and VFX artist. Huntwatch had its world premiere in Manhattan at DOC NYC and was picked up by the Discovery Channel for global broadcast and Lionsgate for theatrical and digital release.

Rich is a visual storyteller with expertise in bringing complex topics to life through dynamic interview shoots, compelling photography and visual effects, and masterful editing. He’s an expert at achieving high-quality productions with single-person or small crew. Since leaving IFAW, Rich has created videos and stills for a diversity of local nonprofit organizations including  video for blogs and social promotion, broadcast TV, PSAs, fundraising and educational channels.

He says “Each new project takes me someplace I’ve never been or gives me a perspective I’ve never seen, whether it’s across the globe or across the street.”
