Therefore he studied from 1974 to 1978 at the California Institute of the Arts and graduated with a bachelor's degree in film and video. Together with Mark Kirkland , he became the first CalArts student to win a student Oscar for the short animated film Fame , which is about a song by David Bowie . After completing his studies, he founded New Hollywood Inc., his first company with David Koenigsberg, Osvaldo Zornizer and Mark Kirkland .

Richard Jefferies is a frequent contributor to B-Movies and TV movies such as A Fateful Invention , Cold Creek Manor, and Scary . He also wrote scripts for bigger films like Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and Tron: Legacy , which were not mentioned in the credits, which is why he often stated that he had made good money after 30 years in Hollywood, but to this day could not be proud of any film he wrote for.
