I am writing this short note to introduce you to Mr. Ryan Strandjord, a talented young filmmaker I’ve had the great pleasure of working with on several film projects. It takes more than a simple script and money to make a good film – it takes a director with a special artistic eye, great project management, outstanding people skills and a dedication to a creative vision. Ryan has proven to have these traits time and time again. From his founding of MINNEWOOD to his work on several SBD productions, Ryan’s commitment to the creative endeavor is amazing. A few months back I watched the short promo trailer he created for “Prescription Happiness” and was blown away by the very unique and stylized picture he painted (and the wonderfully unique soundtrack). As a casting director, I agree with the old saying that the most important part of making a movie is good casting, and although I wasn’t involved in the casting of this trailer, while watching the trailer I was nodding my head and affirming Ryan’s choices in casting some of the finest local actors. Because of my confidence in Ryan and this specific script, I have expressed my interest in having Walden Entertainment help cast the next phase of the film.
