Robert Rayher Senior Lecturer since 1992. M.A.H. (Cinema & English) SUNY Buffalo, 1984. My primary creative focus since 1993 has been screenwriting. From the end of the '70's through the early '90's, I produced and presented experimental films and videos. I've had stints in the motion picture industry and with independent film productions. My films and tapes have been screened widely in North America, and occasionally in Europe and Asia. A number of my titles are available from the Canadian Filmmakers' Distribution Center (cfmdc@interlog.com). Grants for filmmaking include NEA Regional Fellowships ('88 & '92) and support from The National Film Board of Canada ('83-'85).
