Rob Rapley
Writer - Producer - Director
Rob is the founder of Apograph. His current project explores the hopes, violence, and corruption bound up in the creation of modern Los Angeles. The story - the setting for the film noir classic, Chinatown - culminates in the worst civil engineering catastrophe in American history: the St Francis Dam disaster. Rob's recent biography of singer and civil rights icon Marian Anderson was described by the Wall Street Journal as “a moving tribute to a remarkable figure” and by the New York Times as “an insightful documentary...explores the roiling social, racial and political currents that affected Anderson's life and career.” Rob recently won a duPont-Columbia Award for Reconstruction: America After the Civil War, hosted by Henry Louis Gates Jr. He has received two Emmy nominations, a Writer’s Guild Award, an IDA Award, a Western Heritage Award, a Western Writers of America Award, and a CINE Special Jury Award.
