Rick Bata (Staff Writer)
Rick lives in San Jose, CA with his lovely wife and their handful of cats. He has been involved in writing, directing, and editing films for well over a decade. However, it wasn’t until a few years ago he decided to “kick his writing up a notch” and enroll in film school. Rick is currently working on his BFA in Screenwriting while attending the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. He has one feature-length screenplay completed and is in the early “procrastination stage” of out-lining his next. When he is not staring at a blank screen Rick likes to play golf, relax at home with a cold brew, and run uphill backwards while it’s raining.
