Richard Lowry began making super 8 films as a young teen, then after seeing 'Star Wars' committed himself to becoming a serious filmmaker. Lowry's first film, 'Hawk Jones', starred an all-child cast and was filmed in his hometown of Moline, Illinois. The film has since established a cult following and as of August, 2014, is playing in movie theaters nationwide as part of the Alamo Drafthouse film circuit.
