Tony Ferrendelli is a Colorado native who sporadically relocates to Southern California because it doesn’t snow. There are more reasons but this is the short version.
His earliest writing memory was...blah, blah, blah.
His background is comedy and there’s a strong humorous element that leans toward sarcastic or observational present in his writing. His stories are largely character-driven and include people uncomfortable with themselves who must change to move forward.
Tony is equally versed in developing and delivering a strong dramatic story.
Much to the dismay of his 4th grade English teacher, and Mom, he can’t conjugate a sentence to save his life. Luckily for him, screenwriting allows a little leeway in that area as confirmed by his Top 50 placement with Academy Nicholl Fellowships and his Finalist placement at Austin Film Festival.
Current project: Exploring the dark comedic depths of medically-assisted suicide with his writing partner, and the significantly funnier, Kim Turner.
