Dick Blofson

Besides directing and producing many of Telequest's projects, Dick Blofson is most often the man behind the camera.

Recently he could be found capturing the action in an office building in Osaka, recording the wildlife in the rain forest of Costa Rica, and hanging off a fire engine racing through the streets of Trenton, New Jersey.

He was the cinematographer for The Line King, produced by the New York Times and nominated for Best Documentary Feature during the 1997 Academy Awards.

Before co-founding Telequest, Dick produced documentaries with partner Scott Nielsen and worked as a freelance director, cameraman and production manager for CBS, ABC, WNET, and other broadcast outlets. Dick's sense of story and drama is rooted on Broadway, where he spent 12 years as a stage manager on productions with Paul Newman, Katharine Hepburn, and Barbra Streisand.

Dick is a graduate of Antioch College, and served three years in the U.S. Navy.
