About

A career spent shaping pictures, performances, and ideas.

Richard Arsenault is an Emmy-nominated producer, editor, director, and generative AI storyteller whose work spans film, television, interactive media, and AI-driven entertainment.

From creating and leading editorial for some of television's best-known franchises to designing multimodal production pipelines, he brings cinematic judgment to every stage of the process—from the first idea to the final frame.

His newest work combines image and video generation, AI-assisted writing and music, visual evaluation, prompt engineering, and polished post-production. He also holds a B.S. in Data Science, summa cum laude, complementing his B.A. from the USC School of Cinematic Arts.
