Film and Television
Bruce Robb was credited on his first movie soundtrack in the 1970s alongside Flo and Eddie of The Turtles when they produced an original score for a racy Roger Corman flick. Consistent with many Corman alums, it was the beginning of an impressive resume with credits in film and television equal to Robb’s album discography. He has particularly attracted the directors known for their distinct taste in music, such as David Lynch. The projects have been as varied as producing Shelley Duvall and Robin Williams singing showtunes for Robert Altman’s “Popeye” to recording a full orchestra in the scoring of “Twins.” He has also been credited as a producer alongside prominent music supervisors like Evyen Klean, with whom he collaborated for HBO’s Golden Globe award-winning "Lackawanna Blues". His most recent movie credit is the Amy Smart vehicle “Love N' Dancing,” for which he is listed as the music supervisor-producer and soundtrack producer, with other varied music credits (producer, engineer, arranger, mixing, performer, composer) on over 30 original songs recorded for the film’s dance choreography.

Famous quotes containing the words film and/or television:
“The motion picture is like a picture of a lady in a half- piece bathing suit. If she wore a few more clothes, you might be intrigued. If she wore no clothes at all, you might be shocked. But the way it is, you are occupied with noticing that her knees are too bony and that her toenails are too large. The modern film tries too hard to be real. Its techniques of illusion are so perfect that it requires no contribution from the audience but a mouthful of popcorn.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“It is not heroin or cocaine that makes one an addict, it is the need to escape from a harsh reality. There are more television addicts, more baseball and football addicts, more movie addicts, and certainly more alcohol addicts in this country than there are narcotics addicts.”
—Shirley Chisholm (b. 1924)
