What We Do

SUBVERUM is filmmaking studio crafting stories which move the soul. We are pioneering a new frontier of film, creating new and proprietary filmmaking methods which unite human intention and technology.

01

AI in Filmmaking

Everyone has seen the breathtaking cinematic shorts promising a revolution of the film industry. Yet, that promise has yet to deliver a project that you remember.

02

Our Method

We devise new pipelines and workflows integrating AI with traditional filmmaking techniques. The result: beautiful coherent films which preserve the intention and nobility of human artistry.

03

Beautiful Films

In a landscape flooded with soulless content, only beautiful stories stand out. We produce art which respects human dignity while acknowledging the reality of the attention economy.

04

Our Objective

The blockbuster can now be produced at fractions and without the gatekeepers. Equipped with our new methods and traditional principles, we are positioned at the forefront of the revolution.

Who We Are

Richard Goforth

Founder • Filmmaker

Richard Goforth is a filmmaker and entrepreneur pioneering new filmmaking methods and mediums. An artist at heart, Richard spent his childhood composing on his dad's Alesis 66-key keyboard, or, when that wasn't around, tapping on any passing surface.

A senior at Thomas Aquinas College, you may now find him chanting the divine office in a small chapel nestled at the feet of the Topatopa mountains.

Richard sees technology as great power to advance human art, while maintaining its nobility. Contemplative by nature, Richard seeks to know the world as it truly is, and desires to assist others in doing the same through entertainment.
