Ron Ridenour

Ron began his film career in the late 90's following his passion for movies as well as music. Years of experience in music sales and marketing led Ron to working as head graphic artist for a national movie theater chain while interning and taking classes at a nearby film school. Working the graveyard shift for over a decade as a Graphic Artist/Designer paid the bills, however Ron always had movies and music in sight. After leaving a full-time position at an Oregon newspaper in 2004, Ron jumped on any project he could (Oregon and Los Angeles) to stay busy and learn the business - on and off set. Ron has gained knowledge and experience in many departments of film and commercial production, working as a set production assistant, 1st/2nd/2nd 2nd Assistant Director, 2nd Unit Director, Director, producer, Special Effects Assistant, Stunt Assistant and Performer, Transportation Coordinator, and has even played a background actor in a few films. After fourteen-plus years as an Assistant Director, managing and working on a SAFE and EFFICIENT set with a POSITIVE cast and crew is always Ron's goal. Credits include: Mischief Upon Mischief (2nd Unit Director/1st Assistant Director), Tomb Invader (Co-Director/1st Assistant Director), Wish Man (Assistant Director), Ali, The Guardian, Bullet, Director and Writer of the Bratan teaser trailer and music videos. Several feature films are in development where Ron will Direct and Produce projects from his original screenplays that will incorporate strong acting, quality production value, inspiring music and score, all while telling a great story.
