Robert Butler III is a filmmaker born and raised in Compton, California. 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. Still building his directorial body of work, Robert recently co-directed the award-winning sci-fi short film “Time Stamp” and currently has two new projects in the festival circuit. My ultimate goal is to blend my passion of movie making and film criticism to fully dedicate my livelihood to the celebration of cinema. Some of my inspirations are François Truffaut, Spike Lee, Kevin Smith, and Ava DuVernay.
