Rich Denmark

Rich Denmark’s name pops up in a couple of places if you’re poking around the indie film world or bingeing documentaries late at night. The guy’s got a knack for getting involved with projects that land somewhere between “wait, what?” and “wow, I need to know more.” First up, there’s “Parrot Kindergarten” (2025), which…yeah, it’s as wild as it sounds. Think bright colors, cranky birds, and a bunch of people who take parrot education way more seriously than you’d expect. Denmark’s touch gives the whole thing this oddly charming vibe, like you’re stuck in a fever dream at a pet store. Then there’s “Titan: The OceanGate Disaster” (2025), and honestly, this one’s pretty heavy. It dives straight into the mess surrounding that OceanGate submersible disaster—remember when that was all over the news for a hot minute? The film doesn’t sugarcoat anything, poking at the obsession with exploration, the media frenzy, and the very real people caught in the fallout. Denmark brings this sharp, almost restless energy to the story, bouncing between claustrophobic submarine footage and the chaos topside. Oh, and don’t skip “On the Record” (2020). This one’s pure documentary grit, digging deep into the #MeToo movement and the storm it kicked up in the music industry. There’s nothing polished or sugar-coated here—just raw stories, uncomfortable truths, and the kind of interviews that stick with you. Denmark connects all these dots with a style that feels both unfiltered and strangely intimate, like he’s pulling back the curtain and daring you to look away.
