Richard Yusuff

Richard became involved in filmmaking as a teenager. In 2020, BellaNaija described him as a founding member of the Critics Company and noted that he worked as the group's continuity supervisor and actor, having appeared in more than 10 short films at that time.

Today, he describes himself professionally as a filmmaker, creative director, founding member of The Critics and co-founder of CLAN YUJO.

Richard is one of the five core members of The Critics alongside Raymond J. Yusuff, Ronald Yusuff, Godwin Josiah and Victor Josiah. The group has made dozens of short films using self-taught filmmaking techniques and homemade equipment in Kaduna.

He is also a principal subject and cast member of Crocodile (2026), the Nigeria/New Zealand documentary directed by The Critics and New Zealand filmmaker Pietra Brettkelly. The film follows The Critics' filmmaking journey in Kaduna.
