Robert Meyer Burnett has spent the past 33 years traveling the globe, actively participating in various aspects of the film industry. He began his career as a Production Assistant on Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III in 1990, later becoming a Management Trainee under Warner Brothers Senior Vice President of Production Bill Young, allowing him to observe feature film production from the highest level of a major motion picture studio.
Burnett's experience also includes working as a professional story analyst, reading thousands of scripts at various companies, including Silver Pictures, CAA, The William Morris Agency, and Pierre David's The Image Organization. He later shifted his focus to film production, starting his feature editorial career by re-cutting Charles Band's Full Moon Entertainment's Arcade in 1993.
Throughout the 1990s, Burnett continued to edit low-budget genre features, specializing in working with first-time directors and supervising the entire post-production process. He made his feature directorial debut with the 1999 award-winning cult favorite Free Enterprise, starring Emmy-Winners William Shatner and Eric McCormack, which he also edited and co-wrote.
In the early 2000s, Burnett developed and co-produced Agent Cody Banks and its sequel, Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London for MGM. He also began writing, shooting, producing, and directing content for special edition DVDs and Blu-Rays, working on projects such as Fantasia, The Emperor's New Groove, Snow White, Tron, Valley Girl, Star Trek V, and Shoot 'Em Up.
In 2002, Burnett founded his production company, Ludovico Technique, LLC, specializing in overseeing content creation for huge overseas productions. He spent months and sometimes years at a time in both New Zealand and Australia, embedded in productions such as The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.
Burnett also teamed up with acclaimed director Bryan Singer to create the Special Editions for The Usual Suspects, X-Men, X2, and Superman Returns. In 2009, Ludovico developed and produced its first feature film, The Hills Run Red, in association with Warner Premiere and Joel Silver's Dark Castle Entertainment, with Burnett as producer.
He went on to direct and edit five episodes of the HBO/Cinemax Late Night anthology series Femme Fatales in 2011.
