The Writer: Anthony Fertino

I have written 30 completed features, 10 shorts, and 2 pilots. My greatest strengths are Suspense, Science-Fiction, and Drama. I am flexible, enthusiastic, dutiful, and efficient. I typically write a feature in 3-4 weeks. A short film could take 1-2 days. I am a film analyst, and a novelist with two completed books. I previously worked as an online film critic for Screen Rant, Screenpicks and Filmmatic.com. My screenplays have been considered at reputable companies such as Voltage Pictures, Farah Films, Varient, and many more. My love for literature since an early age has largely inspired my goals as a screenwriter today, and I look forward to collaborating with others who live and breathe… Go to bio
