Sappho (2008)
British film director, screenwriter, and producer Robert Crombie first stumbled into the movie business whilst working as a journalist in Russia in the 1990s; and after lucking through his first few TV commercials, he has never looked back.

Robert is a co-writer and a producer of the MGM action comedy Soldiers of Fortune, starring Christian Slater, Sean Bean, Ving Rhames, Dominic Monaghan and James Cromwell.

Robert is also the writer, director, and a co-producer of the drama Sappho. Sappho holds the box office record for a local movie in its home territory of Ukraine. Though a low-budget movie filmed without star name actors, Sappho has sold to over 50 countries, including USA and UK.

Robert is the writer, creative director, and a co-producer of the 2D animation feature The Good Soldier Shweik, based on Jaroslav Hasek's famous anti-war comic novel, The Good Soldier Svejk.

Robert is also the director of the Lionsgate-distributed woman in peril thriller Assassin's Run, starring Christian Slater, Cole Hauser, Angus Macfayden and Sofya Skya. The released version of the film has been heavily re-edited by the female lead, the wife of the film's financier.

Robert has also directed over 250 TV commercials for some of the world's leading consumer brands. After many years working in Eastern Europe, he is based in UK again. He studied at Oxford University, and he speaks fluent Russian and Italian and English with an English accent. He is a keen diver and anthropologist.
