"Being a right-brained type of writer, my stories and characters tend to be specific and unusual. However, they like to run all over, creating havoc on the page! It's difficult for me to utilize the characters in the best way. Matt has helped me train them to go into the right acts, the right way so they can shine. In the three ring circus that is my screenplay, he is a character tamer and a keen problem solver."
- Jill Morley, Screenwriter/Director, "BLOODY BURLESQUE" - BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY at Hollywood Blood Horror Festival
“Matt Ritchey has helped me tremendously with the script for my upcoming film. He’s extremely knowledgeable, bold & insightful!”
~ David Kohner Zuckerman, Virtual Pitch Fest Founder & Producer
“Matt's Storycrafting process is a multi-dimensional experience that expands the heart of the story. He takes the core message and goal of what we want audiences to feel and then supports the molding of how to make it happen. Matt is a true visionary who brings the biggest, most open heart and mind to every single story and concept he touches. Matt is a true original and sees beyond “what is” to “what is possible.”
- Christine Hauer, "A CHRISTINE CAROL" actress and producer (a Storycrafted project)
“Once I started working with Matt the level of work I began creating was simply on another level. He gives you the tools and the know how to keep pushing forward, honoring the story and your characters along the way. Matt is especially useful in the beginning when you have a great idea but aren't sure where you want to go with it. He has a unique ability to ask the right questions, drawing out the story you never even knew you had in you.“
- Asta Leigh, “DEAR ALEJANDRO” TV series (a Storycrafted project)
“Matt helped me simplify everything. He helped me focus on the true essence of the show, developed basic ideas into complex ones, and got rid of unnecessary characters and aspects that strayed away from my original intent. He is clear-headed, sharp as a tac and one of the funniest people I have ever known.”
- Malcolm Moore, “MR. MALCOLM’S RHYTHM FACTORY” TV show (a Storycrafted project)
