Award-Winning Screenplay
Ron won the prestigious Kairos Pro Prize at the Movieguide Awards in Los Angeles in February 2017 for his original screenplay Donuts with Jerry. The story follows a charming stranger who becomes stranded in a small town at Christmas time and transforms the divisive community through the power of love — and donuts. The screenplay later inspired Ron's novel O Little Town of Donuts.
