The Writer: Anthony Fertino
I am an endeavoring screenwriter with a total of 30 completed features, 10 shorts, and 2 pilots. My greatest strengths are Suspense, Science-Fiction, and Horror. Still, I always ground them in Drama, something I am very comfortable with. In fact, I have written nearly every genre there is. 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 was an online film critic for Screenpicks and Filmmatic.com, collectively a period of three years. Three of my features are currently for sale by Pinaki Ghosh of The Screenplay Writers. Many others have been considered at reputable companies such as Smart... Go to bio
