From the filmmakers
Beyond the page
Dugan Bridges, director of Blackwater Draw, on The Armstrong Williams Show. Blackwater Draw was written and produced by Clint Ross.
Blackwater Draw · In the spotlight“American Deadbolt would still be a PDF on my computer if I hadn’t brought Clint onto our producing team. I can say with 100% certainty: this film would not have happened without his knowledge, dedication, and experience pushing us across the finish line.”
“Clint’s notes on RV were spot-on and gave me a lot to think about. The revisions made a real difference—even the studio that optioned the screenplay noticed the changes and responded positively.”
“Oh my gosh—I’ve learned so much from Clint. I never realized how much more could be mined from my script, or how every creative change affects the budget and schedule.”
