“Danny proved to be an invaluable asset and collaborator in both the production and creative elements of the films we produced.

I have only the greatest respect for his talents, which is why I continue you to work with him on my own material.” - J.S. Cardone, Screenwriter, Director and Executive Producer (Prom Night, The Covenant, The Forsaken, Black Day Blue Night, etc).
“Danny’s got some of the best story instincts around and the enviable ability to enhance every script he works on. As an exec, he knows the business, the players and the marketplace and is able to bring this knowledge to his work as a script consultant. We’ve worked on many projects together and he’s still the person I ask for story and casting input.” - Clifford Werber, Producer, Clifford Werber Productions (Cinderella Story, Sydney White, Just Add Water) and former studio executive.
“Danny’s worked with studios, independents, and comic book companies and knows how to handle writers at every level.

He cuts through the crap and at the end of the day, any writer or producer would be lucky to have him in their corner.” - Scott Einbinder, Producer, LeoMaxe Entertainment (Walled In) and formerly Sandstorm Films (The Covenant, The Forsaken, Sniper 2&3).
