Dee Robertson

Dee Austin Robertson, an Abilene, Texas native and University of Texas graduate, spent many years under the mentorship of Richard Kelly (DONNIE DARKO) and Steven Poster, ASC. In 2004, Dee directed and collaborated with writer Todd Berger on a #1 Fan: A Darkomentary for the special addition director's cut of DONNIE DARKO. It received rave reviews from Rolling Stone to LA Weekly. The Washington Post wrote, "Surely it's all an act, but it's a brilliant one." He then wrote and directed the festival favorite animation This is the Way the World Ends and a behind-the-scenes documentary on the film SOUTHLAND TALES, both of which can be seen on the Universal/Sony DVD.

For the Internet, Dee directed and edited the hit comedy series Time Dealer which stars D.C. Pierson from Derrick Comedy/"Mystery Team". He also worked with KCRW (npr) to produce and direct Tuned In, a music web show with legendary music taste-maker Nic Harcourt.

Currently, Dee is an Executive Producer and Writer (story) on THE HAPPYTIME MURDERS, another collaboration with writer Todd Berger. The film is in pre-production at the Jim Henson Company.

Recently, Dee directed, shot and edited Twitter Kids with Eric Levy and Juan Cardarelli of "Happy Birthday Harris Malden". The film screened at this year's Austin Film Festival.
