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 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 verb 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 recent win at the Austin Film Festival.
Current project: Exploring the dark comedic depths of medically-assisted suicide with his writing partner, and the significantly funnier, Kim Turner.
