Robert Orr

History

Before turning to screenwriting, Robert Orr traveled through Bosnia and Croatia during the Yugoslavian Civil War, working first as a photographer and later as an aid worker helping to rebuild homes damaged from fighting. He also worked at the massive DaDaab refugee camp on the Kenyan/Somali border. "Savior" is based on the true story of an ex-Foreign Legion sniper that Robert met while in Bosnia. The mercenary claimed the only bullet he ever took hit him as he went off-mission during a battle to save an orphan baby. The bullet hole was in his right side. He called it his "Jesus wound." He saved the child. The merc's story inspired Robert to write his first screenplay. Robert splits his time between his hometown of Nashville and Los Angeles.
