• About Robert F. Enrietto Jr.

  Robert F. Enrietto Jr. was a production manager, assistant director, producer, and administrator of Columbia College Chicago's Semester in LA program. A Chicago native and 1967 graduate of Columbia, Enrietto had movie credits that included Harold and Maude, Tora! Tora! Tora!, Phantom of the Paradise, and The Outside Man, among others. His TV credits include In the Heat of the Night, Remington Steele, Behind Enemy Lines, Something About Amelia, Little House on the Prairie, and Hawaii Five-O, among many others.

  His most cherished accomplishment was the creation of Columbia College Chicago's Semester in LA program, which he created together with fellow instructor Don Smith. Believing that the college should have a presence in Hollywood, Bob helped to develop a program of classes based at CBS Studio Center in Studio City, CA, which today includes screenwriting, adaptation, entertainment marketing, producing, comedy writing for television, costume design, development, directing, music composition for the screen, and music producing.
