Rob Williams (Producer)
Rob Williams is an award-winning screenwriter and filmmaker, and co-founder of Guest House Films. With an impressive three movies under his belt (Long-Term Relationship, Back Soon and 3-Day Weekend), Rob is a determined professional within the gay film industry and recently completed production on a fourth film entitled Make the Yuletide Gay.
Before launching his filmmaking career, Rob graduated from Texas Christian University with a BBA degree in Finance, and received an MBA in Marketing from the University of Texas. He then moved to Los Angeles, where he worked in public relations for more than a decade, specializing in writing, special event organization and video production, first within the agency world and then as a freelance consultant.
Frustrated with the lack of creativity in the PR field, Rob began studying screenwriting at the Twin Bridges Screenwriting Salon, where he developed primarily “mainstream” scripts such as thrillers and horrors. But the script he received the greatest feedback on was the gay-themed romantic comedy, Long-Term Relationship. With the support of his long-time partner (and fellow screenwriter) Rodney Johnson, Rob approached good friend and acclaimed actor Matthew Montgomery with the script. Matthew’s immediate response was, “You need to make this film, and I need to star in it!” This quickly led to the creation of Guest House Films.
The company started production on Long-Term Relationship in January 2006, and has made four films in less than three years, with Rob serving as writer, director and producer of all films. The movies have been screened at film festivals around the world, winning audience, jury and acting awards, and securing distribution deals in North America and foreign territories. Along with partner Rodney, Rob was named to Instinct Magazine’s “Leading Men of 2008” for their contributions to gay cinema.
While he didn’t attend film school, Rob’s passion for movies was always present in his life, and it was his fascination with movies that he credits as the best sort of training for him. In addition, the tremendous amount of supportive feedback from viewers continues to fuel Rob’s creativity and his desire to keep making movies.
Rob is currently developing a number of feature film projects for the future of Guest House Films, including a screen adaptation of Jim Tushinski’s novel, Van Allen’s Ecstasy, and is working on his first novel. Rob lives with his partner Rodney in the Silver Lake area of Los Angeles.
