After getting his B.F.A. in Film Production at York University in Toronto, Randall Lobb began his career working on commercials for McWaters and Associates, until, in the most stereotypical fashion (a crushing admission for a writer), a head injury sustained in a cycling accident caused him to re-configure his life. Randall entered Queen’s University for his Bachelor of Education degree, and in 1990, he began his career as a high school English, Media and Drama teacher, working in a rural community in Southwestern Ontario.
Throughout, Randall focused on his writing and began to freelance in every genre and medium including television, film, new media and gaming, leading to, among other projects:
Writing and directed Waging Peace: Canada in Afghanistan, writing the pilot episode of the docudrama series Medics for Tim Wolochatiuk, acting as a story consultant on A Perfect Soldier, producing, writing and directing the featurette Inside Storming Juno, and producing, writing and directing Turtle Power, a feature documentary on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for executive producers Galen Walker (TMNT) and Scott Mednick (300, Where the Wild Things Are), along with a number of other film and TV projects.
Randall has also written and directed seven plays for young people and two comedic short story collections: Photogenic Memory and Auslanders: A German Year (coming soon).
He currently has two feature film projects in first draft funding at Telefilm (Ontario and Quebec), Two Guys Who Sold the World (Geordie Sabbagh, producer), with director Patrick Boivin attached, and Almost Criminal (Geordie Sabbagh and Michel Shane, producers).
Randall is now hard at work on a new feature screenplay for Patrick Boivin.
