Ron and I began working together in March 2012. Our project was not an easy one as my story was a difficult one to tell. Always professional, Ron advised me every step of the way. Ron met all deadlines, sent me updates, and ask questions when in doubt. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Ron!

I had Ron write a script for me based on a story that I came up with, which I plan to adapt to a musical or a rock opera in the near future. He did it in a very timely manner and the communication was very smooth at all times. I am very satisfied with the final product and would recommend Ron's services.

FAQs

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    Most of my clients have a story they want to have made into a movie or play. They usually have notes and ideas about their life or the story they want me to create. It's my job to make it an interesting story that people want to see, and to put it into the proper format to 'pitch' to interested producers or production companies, either film or for the stage.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Review all providers re: their body of work, length of time doing it, variety of genre, and reviews from past clients. If that impresses, see if the rates charged match the project and budget you have, and if the rates are negotiable, either in amount or time to pay. And lastly, will your provider assist in marketing after the project is complete?
