Richard Moran

For his Division III, Richard wrote and directed a forty-minute short film called "The Wind Eagle's Nest". A comedy about three college-age guys trying to climb Mount Washington, the highest mountain in the Northeastern US, notorious for its unpredictable, vicious weather, over winter break, "The Wind Eagle's Nest" was a tremendously challenging shoot. Shot on location in New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Connecticut, the film was made with minimal crew and no real budget.

The plot is simple, and the film is driven by the characters: Max, (Paul Shindell) a disciplined but socially awkward athlete, Michael, (David Moran) a cooly distant guitarist, Chris, (Richard Moran) a spacey classics major obsessed with mythology, and the beautiful but treacherous Mountain itself.
