R.A. Modro (Ron) is a fearless international screenwriter and visionary storyteller based in Los Angeles, California. Born in the mill town of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, Ron’s creative journey has taken him around the globe, from the bustling streets of Paris to the vibrant souks of Marrakech, and the cultural crossroads of Luxembourg and Helsinki. His diverse life experiences bring a bold, dynamic edge to his work, allowing him to craft powerful narratives that transcend borders and break down barriers.
With a background in film, television, human rights, and Holocaust education, Ron’s work isn’t just about telling stories—it’s about making people think, feel, and question. His latest project, Begin the Beguine, fearlessly tackles the intergenerational wounds of racism and homophobia, exploring the transformative power of love and the pursuit of reconciliation.
Ron’s storytelling knows no boundaries. From the haunting drama of My Name Was Icek, which delves into identity and survival in the shadow of the Holocaust, to the raw, emotional journey of Nearer to God, set against the backdrop of the AIDS crisis, his work consistently challenges audiences to engage with complex social issues. FORBIDDEN: Once Upon a War, one of Ron’s passion projects, reimagines a Romeo and Juliet romance in Nazi-occupied Paris, blending heart-stopping drama with profound social commentary.
With each project, Ron continues to redefine what it means to tell a story, creating content that dares to push boundaries and ignite conversations that matter.
