Robinson Devor

He considered becoming a poet and applied to study under James Dickey at the University of South Carolina, but an unexpected job offer in Africa[2] diverted him for a year.

Devor met Guccioni at a weekly avant-garde film night in Los Angeles, where the two chose to work on a collaborative project as co-directors.

The film was a loose adaptation of Charles Mudede’s weekly column, Police Beat, and focused on a Muslim-African born lovesick bike cop in Seattle.

Devor ‘s 2018 feature documentary Pow Wow: An Anthropological Study of the Members of the Indian Desert Country Club, a collaboration with writer Michael McConville, debuted at the Locarno Film Festival and then in the US at Lincoln Center (Art of the Real).

By 2010, Devor had begun work on a documentary about Sara Jane Moore, the woman responsible for the 1975 attempted assassination of Gerald Ford in San Francisco.

[4] Devor is entering pre-production on an adaptation of Kenneth Patchen’s anti-war novel The Journal of Albion Moonlight starring Will Patton and co-written by Michael McConville ("Pow Wow").
