Richard Lowry began making super 8 films as a young teen, then after seeing 'Star Wars' committed himself to becoming a serious filmmaker. Lowry's first film, 'Hawk Jones', starred an all-child cast and was filmed in his hometown of Moline, Illinois. The film has since established a cult following and as of August, 2014, is playing in movie theaters nationwide as part of the Alamo Drafthouse film circuit. Lowry has directed several independent features which have been distributed worldwide, two of which were produced for Dark Horse Comics. 'Monarch of the Moon', a satire of the 40's serials, was hailed by film critic Leonard Maltin as "...the film Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow' aspired to be." With his latest feature 'Dominion' completed, Lowry has one film in pre-production and several in development, including an 'ultimate Star Wars short fan film'.
