  • Testimonials

    “Jon gets right into the meat of the story, the story you want to tell. He helps you find the places in your script that are good, and those that are interfering with the trajectory and proper pace of the story. I learned an enormous amount about the craft from working with Jon.”

     

    — Bruce McClelland, client and author, SLAYERS AND THEIR VAMPIRES
    By the way, Bruce's script that I helped with won the Best Screenplay Award at the Virginia Film Festival. Just sayin'!

    “Jonathan Rintels is very talented- creative and a good writer. His desire to produce the best finished product possible keeps him open-minded to suggestions. Anyone who works with him will find that he is professional, reliable, and will be one of the easiest people with whom they have ever worked.”

     

    — Susie McKenna, client and author, LAST TRACKS

    “Written with a deft touch, an engaging wit, and a sure eye for what will ring warm and true, (Lifemobile) is an incredibly engaging story that anyone would treasure.”

     
    — Robert Bianco, USA Today, on LIFEMOBILE

    “Is it dramatic enough? I thought an early draft was, but after receiving feedback from Jon, I realized I had left a lot on the table. In my subsequent revision, I basically discovered my whole third act! Jon’s friendly advice, informed by his many years of professional experience, has truly been invaluable to my progress.”

     

    — Eric Williamson, Client and Screenwriter

     

    “Truly a great episode!”

     

    — Law & Order fan, TV.com, on KNOCK OFF

     

     

    “... the telefilm version of the ordeal of Jim and Jennifer Stolpa nicely captures the terror and the heartache of their brush with icy death...” 

     

    — Tom Bierbaum, DAILY VARIETY, on SNOWBOUND: THE JIM AND JENNIFER STOLPA STORY

     

    “Editing my financial newsletter, Jon quickly cuts through jargon and streamlines technical analysis to make important points easily understandable. My readers have profited (literally!) from his contribution. Highest recommendation.”
