Working Title: Richard Curtis

Richard Curtis is a British writer/director well known for his Romantic Comedy films. He also helped write for sitcoms such as Blackadder and The Vicar of Dibley.

Richard's debut film; "Four Weddings and a Funeral" was made with Working Title Films in 1994 on a low budget. The success of the film was so great that it helped boost both the name of Richard Curtis and Tim Bevan of Working Title Films. He went on to make another 10 films with Working Title that all became worldwide hits; Bridget Jones being the highest (26th highest grossing film of all time at $41,692,598 as of 2010).
Richard works closely with his wife Emma Freud who edits his scripts before they are submitted to Tim Bevan of Working Title.

In 2010, he joined as guest writer for Doctor Who; his episode on Van Gogh is a perfect example of Richard Curtis' style of work, covering emotional aspects of life:
