    Ron Aberdeen

    Before I started writing in 2005 at the age of 60, I was the CEO for an International manufacturing company and prior to that a marketing executive for the Sony Corporation. I bring my commercial experience and world travels together with my business and marketing skills to create fast moving, exciting and entertaining stories for film. In my few years as a writer I have been commissioned by directors David DeCoteau, and emerging director Simon Foster and producers Bill Dever, Françoise Gouliardon and André Paquette and hired as a story editor for prize-winning director Andy Lauer. Recently I completed a screenplay commissioned for a prestigious Anglo/Chinese project and was commissioned to write a new TV series based on the short stories of the renowned horror author, Ramsay Campbell. Currently I have two screenplays going into production and two others that have won awards.
