In addition to DARKROOM, Rob Brown has been working on several other films; DERMO SLUCHAETSA (Shit Happens) is a 90-second micro-short about a deserting WWII Russian soldier. The film was nominated for the Depict! ’06 Awards. MADAME PATCH is a stop motion animation about how panda’s aren’t as cute and innocent as they would like us to believe. Rob’s latest film OPEN SKIES (also starring Lara Belmont) is about a young mother who takes her boy to the beach for the first time. At sunset, she lies down on the beach with her boy and closes her eyes. When she opens her eyes her child is gone.

ONE WAY TICKET is Rob's latest project. A feature documentary about a woman who left convent school in Paris and booked a One-Way ticket to Vietnam to become a war photographer when she was just 21 years old, she became the first woman in history to win the Robert Capa Award.
