Robert Barrett

Founder | Producer | Director | Camera | Editor

I started my filmmaking journey over 20 years ago at Emerson College with a BFA in film and a minor in photography. From there, I worked on feature films, shot and edited for HBO’s America Undercover, reality camera for TLC, A&E and ABC shows, Steadicam for Channel One News, and most recently field producing for the Food Network. Concurrently, I’ve been creating a variety of independent films, corporate videos, commercial ads, music videos, and live events as Time Machine Film Works, a production company I began in 2005.

Below you’ll find a list of productions along with links on each title organized by crew position held, followed by education and skills. Chronological resume and work references available on request.

All the best,
Rob

As a Director

As a director, I rely on preparation. Not only to keep everything on time and on budget, but to stay connected with talent, giving everyone from actors to cinematographers to set designers the creative freedom to keep them invested and at the top of their game.

As a Camera Operator

As a camera operator, I am familiar with all professional camera interfaces and am Steadicam certified. I own and operate the Panasonic AG-HVX200, have an Arri light kit, and a Glidecam. I am also an experienced gaffer and grip, and can optimize and monitor audio quality as well.

As a Field Producer

As a field producer, I believe the core rests on communication and confirmation.  My tools are a MacBook Pro, an iPhone, and a positive attitude.

As an Editor

As an editor, I am comfortable on Avid, Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere and various other editing, mixing, titling and effects programs. Final Cut 7, Motion, Color, Soundtrack, DVD Studio Pro, Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, Muse, etc. are the platform for my Time Machine Film Works post production studio.
