The weird wacky rollercoaster of IMDB ratings. Up, down, up down. Right now we're at a very decent number. 
Here is a trailer for our upcoming family/children's film, THE BOY, THE DOG, AND THE CLOWN.
DONUTS WITH JERRY won the prestigious Kairos Prize Screenplay Award, Pro category, at the Movieguide Awards on February 10th, 2017.

I think my favorite part of winning is the $15,000 check!
My farce, BIGGER, has won the Third Annual Playwriting Contest at Rover Dramawerks in Plano, TX (Dallas suburb) for my farce, BIGGER. It will run March 9 – April 1, 2017. Dallas friends, now's the the time to put the dates on your calendar and reserve a showtime at Rover Dramawerks. If you like to laugh, you should like the play!
Here's the blurb:
Plastic surgeon John Swift is in big trouble. He's in debt to loan sharks and is about to have his practice taken over by a ruthless mobster. The noose tightens when the FBI blackmails the doctor into working undercover to bring the mobster down, while the mobster's girlfriend coerces John into sleeping with her so that she can get pregnant. A classic farce featuring cross-dressing, mistaken identity, cheating spouses, snipers, and scalpels.

Terrific news! DONUTS WITH JERRY has won Best Comedy Screenplay in the Table Read My Screenplay Contest 2015. In fact, it looks like we were neck and neck for the Grand Prize (but ultimately came in second). A comment from the notification email:
"We look forward to sending you more information on your prizes, but remember the biggest prize of all is that your passion and drive for your project has brought you to the top out of nearly 1000 submissions! And in fact, we want to express to you specifically, Ron, HOW difficult it was to choose the Grand Prize Winner. It really came down to the tightest contest between Donuts with Jerry and Brights. You should be very proud of your script. It’s absolutely wonderful, has a beautiful message (everyone should live by) and we truly look forward to helping you share it with the world. Thank you so much for writing such a wonderful script. Way to go! "
We just received unexpected contest feedback about DONUTS WITH JERRY. Here's an excerpt:
"The script is absolutely DELIGHTFUL. Not only is it funny and charming, it hits all the right beats. The screenplay is well written in all areas and the tone is perfect—humorous and sentimental without going too far and beating the audience over the head. The characters show depth and are likable (even the “villain”) and there are several clever touches to the story that make it stand out. Let me also add that I LOVE those holiday movies—I'm a complete sucker for the cable station Christmas movies that play 24 hours. I start watching one and I'm hooked. This easily stands up against the best of those which adds a strong commercial potential to the script as well!"
The appreciation for DONUTS WITH JERRY keeps rolling in. The screenplay now places as a finalist in the Storypros.com screenplay contest.
