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
