Richard has scored many hours of film and television programming as well, including films of diverse content including "A Dog of Flanders" Warner Brothers, "Ticking Clock" Sony Pictures, and "Uncle P" New Line Pictures, to name a few.

Friedman earned a Ph.D. in Music History and Theory from Boston University. His versatility has enabled him to compose in wide-ranging cinematic music scoring styles, from classical, jazz, to contemporary.

His prolific music for film, TV, movie trailers, music production libraries and commercials has been performed worldwide and can be heard daily around the globe.

“Despite time and budgetary constraints, Richard delivered a brilliant period score that added a new dimension to the classic Belgian tale…..In my career as president of Paramount Pictures, CEO of MGM Studios, and as an independent producer, I have been privileged to work with the best in the industry: John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, and James Horner, to name a few.
In my opinion it is simply a matter of time before Richard Friedman’s name and reputation will travel in the company of these exceptional film composers”. - Frank Yablans, producer of ‘A Dog of Flanders’ Warner Bros.
