Robert Meyer Burnett

After joining Kurtti-Pellerin, Burnett produced extras for special edition DVDs including The Walt Disney Company's The Fantasia Anthology and Snow White, and New Line Cinema's Extended Editions of Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers. Burnett's production company, Ludovico Technique LLC has worked on the DVD Special Editions for Oscar-winning The Usual Suspects, Valley Girl, Superman Returns, Spider-Man, X-Men 1.5, X2, and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. He edited, wrote and produced all the special features for Blu-ray release of Star Trek: The Next Generation Complete Series box set released on June 7, 2016; he also contributed to the Blu-ray of all four seasons of Star Trek: Enterprise, with season four being released on April 1, 2014. Most recently, he, along with director Dave Parker, completed 6.5 hours of special features for the Blu-ray release of their film, The Hills Run Red, released by Scream Factory on June 16, 2020.

Burnett made his feature writing and directing debut with the 1999 film Free Enterprise, starring Eric McCormack and William Shatner, which he also edited. As a film producer, he co-produced Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Agent Cody Banks and its sequel, Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London, and developed and produced the 2009 Warner Premiere and Dark Castle's The Hills Run Red. In 2020, Burnett completed producing and editing Tango Shalom, the last appearance of actor Joseph Bologna. Beginning in 2010, Burnett has directed and edited five episodes of the Cinemax series Femme Fatales.[1][2][3]

Robert also runs a successful YouTube channel and website both entitled The Burnettwork and presents his own show titled Robservations which provides in depth online video analysis of new and classic TV and film content for the film fan community and aspiring filmmakers. Two episodes of Robservations which garnered widespread attention in particular were those focusing on an alternative script for the final film in the Star Wars sequel trilogy ( which Meyer Burnett has been highly critical of). The draft script entitled 'Duel of the Fates' had radically different (and in Robert's view superior) ideas to the ideas shown on screen in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.[4][5][6] Rob also contributes regularly to the YouTube show of his good friend and fellow filmmaker John Campea (titled The John Campea Show).[7]

Until June 2020, he was a manager on the Schmoedown Entertainment Network‘s Movie Trivia Schmoedown show, but was removed from this role due to a series of controversial tweets over the shooting of retired police captain David Dorn. Former Schmoedown personality Robert Butler III had taken offense with the tweets as an African American and called for his cancellation from the Schmoedown community, gaining the support of other Schmoedown personalities and a section of fans on Twitter. Although Burnett issued on apology video on his YouTube channel and spoke with Butler privately to apologize (to which Butler accepted), he was not reinstated to the Movie Trivia Schmoedown.[8] He nonetheless was allowed to keep his role of guest contributor/co host on The John Campea Show despite this incident after a short hiatus and still contributes on that show as of January 2021.[9]
