Director Biography - Robert Butler III

Robert Butler III is a filmmaker born, raised, and based in Compton, CA. Initially, Robert’s career path veered towards engineering, as he excelled in prestige STEM-oriented magnet middle and high schools. But his love for cinema led him to graduate from the USC School of Cinematic Arts in 2019 - the same school his inspiration John Singleton attended. Robert has worked as a producer, camera operator, and editor for various online video platforms. Still building his directorial body of work, Robert recently co-directed “Time Stamp,” which was selected for 12 festivals and won the Miami Sci-Fi Film Festival for “Best Director.” He dreams of making movies that address environmental racism and benign neglect amongst Black and Brown communities.

Director Statement

Being a lifelong Blerd, I've always idolized places like toy shops and comic book stores as safe spaces for celebrating fandom. So when internet geek legend Cheyenne Ewulu approached me with her fantastic pilot, I was thrilled to help bring her vision to life. Inspired by workplace comedies like The Office and Abbott Elementary, we are excited to bring viewers into the world of Oh Em Gee Comics.
