Barnum

Rob was born in the small coastal logging town of Eureka, Ca., before making his way to the San Francisco Bay Area and becoming a student of the Great Books at Saint Mary’s College. While at SMC, Rob was a founding partner at EscapeHomes.com and later, post-merger, of TotalMove.com. Rob further advised on the formation and positioning of several other dot coms, including ParkingCarma, before sidestepping from the technology sector into the independent film market.

Rob entered the fray as co-owner and EVP of Cyan Pictures, a boutique production and distribution company where he produced such films as PREMIUM and oversaw the distribution of the acclaimed OH IN OHIO, starring Danny DeVito, Parker Posey, Paul Rudd & Mischa Barton.

Rob eventually exited Cyan to launch Anywhere Road in early 2007. Currently, AR is working towards the August 17th release of ANTONIA in association with Netflix, followed by the release of BLACK IRISH. EUREKA will be AR’s first feature, to be filmed in October from a screenplay written by Rob.

Rob also is the managing partner of Diablo CrossFit, a not-for-profit gym that offers donation-only personal training in the CrossFit methodology, donating any profits towards fighting child obesity.

Rob now resides in the East Bay of San Francisco with his three-year-old son, Kealan and his Irish lass, Sophie. Rob’s family has finally coerced him into getting a puppy that just ate his favorite shoes.
