Richard Loncraine has earned great acclaim for his work in film, television and commercials. He studied sculpture at the Central School of Art before attending the Royal College of Art Film School. He spent three years working for the BBC before moving into commercials. Since those days he has successfully alternated directing films with directing television productions, and the sheer range of his work cannot fail to impress--from 'Dennis Potter . No wonder Loncraine is now one of the most respected British directors.
He was replaced by Wolfgang Petersen as director of Enemy Mine .
As a sculptor he created the first chromium-plated Newtons cradle for the Carnaby Street store Gear.
