Randall Lobb is a former educator, speaker and writer/director/producer with years of experience telling stories in almost every imaginable platform. As the co-founder of Definitive Film, Lobb has become a key voice in pop culture documentaries, crafting deep-dive narratives that explore the creativity behind the world’s most iconic franchises. His work is a Venn diagram between fans, stakeholders and creators, allowing him unusual insight into beloved intellectual properties.

His directorial portfolio features a series of definitive histories, including the critically acclaimed Turtle Power: The Definitive History of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (acquired by Paramount Pictures), Power of Grayskull: The Definitive History of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and the Netflix original The Crystal Calls: Making The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.

Beyond his documentary success, Lobb is an experienced narrative screenwriter. He maintains a long-standing creative partnership with visionary Montreal-based filmmaker Patrick Boivin, collaborating on a number of comedy features currently in development, including the highly anticipated The Girl Who Sold the World. He is also a prolific memoirist. A Generation 1 Gen-Xer, Lobb explores the complexities of a feral, small-town Ontario childhood in his hilarious autobiography, Photogenic Memory: Growing Up Gen-X, and the cultural dislocation of moving his family to Europe for an early experiment in teaching online as a digital nomad in Auslanders: Our German Year (coming soon).

With experience ranging from consulting for high-profile IPs to speaking on the impact of technology in education and entertainment, Lobb pushes the boundaries of engagement and innovation. Whether interviewing pop culture legends on-camera or working with fellow filmmakers on original IP, Lobb’s work reflects his mindful approach to cultural archaeology, rooted in a deep respect for stories that shape our lives and the strategies used to make them meaningful and relevant.
