Rick Flynn Pro

Documentary director Rick Flynn (he/him) has a passion for pushing boundaries. He uses the construct of the social taboo as a vehicle for conveying universally relatable stories through a novel lens. 

He's currently finishing his feature documentary Golf Alpha Yankee, which follows five gay refugees from Iran, seeking asylum in Turkey.

Rick’s first documentary, the provocative “How Come?” was awarded Best Short Documentary at Italy’s Innuendo Festival in 2017 and was featured at TLV Fest (Israel), Luststreifen (Switzerland), PFFB (Berlin), and La Fête du Slip (Switzerland). He directed “Allegiance: Beyond Broadway” (featuring George Takei) and “Behind Bandstand” (featuring Andy Blankenbuehler), both of which received theatrical distribution. He directed “Lynn Nottage: A Tribute,” celebrating the William Inge Festival’s 2022 honoree, and in collaboration with The Carter Center, he directed the forthcoming piece, “Power Lines,” about Michigan’s landmark passage of an amendment that ended gerrymandering in the state.

Rick co-founded the NGLCC-certified commercial media company Rich Media Play, where he directs documentary and commercial content for brands and nonprofits.

Rick graduated from NYU and holds a master’s degree from Germany’s Freie Universität in Visual Anthropology. He is based in NYC and Berlin.
