Richard Zampella is an American film and multimedia producer who has collaborated with John Mulholland on three documentary films including Sergeant York of God & Country (Warner Home Video, narrated by Liam Neeson), Inside High Noon (Lions Gate Entertainment, narrated by Frank Langella) and Cooper & Hemingway: The True Gen, narrated by Sam Waterston.
Cooper & Hemingway: The True Gen was reviewed by The New York Times film critic Andy Webster on October 11, 2013, and was named an NY Times Critics' Pick[1] by Manohla Dargis, A. O. Scott and Stephen Holden.
[2] Zampella produced the 110th anniversary birthday celebration of jazz legend Duke Ellington in conjunction with the Mayor's Office of New York City[3] and the MTA when Mayor Michael Bloomberg designated "Duke Ellington Day"[4] to celebrate the anniversary of the jazz legend's birth.
The documentary film explores how Leonard started, why he wrote what he did and how he arrived at his lean, terse, minimalist trademark.
Zampella hired author and film historian Meir Z. Ribalow to co-host the podcast with Mulholland.
