Dr Richard John Swainson gained his Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Waikato in 1996 with his thesis on 'The Vietnam combat film as a contemporary genre'. He then went on to manage the Cambridge Road branch of Video Ezy for the next decade. Many cite this as the reason behind his nickname "Dr Ezy", but of course other theories abound. 2007 looks to be Dr Ezy's most exciting year professionally as he heads the Film Society and with the opening of his specialist art-house DVD rental store 'Auteur House' (above Mark One Comics) that also stocks film-related books-for-sale sourced overseas.
