After leaving the news desk, Rapp, hosted a series of shows on the cultural, culinary, and literary arts. After a long career in television, Rapp entered the world of cinema in 1996. He wrote and directed the thriller Tiré à part (Limited Edition), starring Terence Stamp. The film was nominated for Best Film at the 1997 Mystfest film festival, where it also won the Fellini Mystery Special Award for best screenplay.
