Director, Partizan
Director, photographer, and editor, C.T. Robert has garnered a reputation as one of the most exciting voices among a new generation of filmmakers. Roberts' bespoke aesthetic sensibility, intellectual curiosity, and passion for filmmaking form a poignant motif that runs throughout his body of work.
Robert's background in journalism and public broadcast at Vevo and NPR’s D.C. and New York offices brought out his journalist DNA, cultivating a level of thoughtfulness in his approach to projects. He was an early member of the team at NPR that brought Tiny Desk Concerts to market. Through his films, Robert is slowly rewriting the cultural narrative, challenging stereotypes and blending mediums with impactful results; his work often centres around the relationship between race, gender, and identity.
Robert's work has been recognised by organisations such as Vogue, The New York Times, Vice, The Webby Awards, The White House News Photographers Association, SXSW, as well as commercial clients including Nike, Footlocker, and Vans, and musical artists H.E.R. and Future.
