“Rod is an extremely talented director and a wonderful creative partner.”

— Dean Devlin, CEO at Electric Entertainment

“Dear Rod,
Congratulations! I know it wasn’t easy remaking “High Noon” and the shooting schedule was way under the time it should have been.
Putting all that aside, the film is something to be proud of -
And I want you to know - you did a terrific job!
Wishing you much success in the future. My best.”

— Stanley Kramer, Producer High Noon

“I was lucky enough to draw Rod Hardy to direct the first episode we wrote for the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica — Season One. His work was so well received that we brought him back to the series for another five episodes.”

— Bradley Thompson, Co-Executive Producer 'Battlestar Galactica'

“Rod directed a couple of episodes I wrote for Battlestar Galactica. A wonderful director, incredibly talented, specific about what he wants, yet very easy going at the same time. A pleasure to work with. We did good work together.”

— Michael Taylor, Co-Executive Producer 'Turn'.

“Rod is a creative, thoughtful and conscientious director. He makes his days in the time allotted and delivers a smart, stylish episode of television. A great pleasure to work with.”

— Iain Paterson, Producer ‘Stranger Things’

“I was the producer on the TNT movie “Two for Texas” that Rod Hardy directed. Rod was fantastic. Creative, professional, a fabulous collaborator and partner, a problem solver and a delight to work with. By far Rod is one of the most talented directors I have had the pleasure to work with in my 35 year film career.”

— DENNIS BISHOP, PRODUCER ‘TWO FOR TEXAS’
