Biography

I’m a professional screenwriter-for-hire who’s been chosen to write, rewrite or polish scripts for 30 different production companies and I’d love to help with any writing needs. “Walking With the Enemy” (based on a true story and starring Academy Award Winning Best Actor Ben Kingsley) is the most notable of my 8 feature film writing credits.   You can watch the film on YouTube.  Most recently I was hired to write “Miranda’s Victim”, with Abigail Breslin, Luke Wilson, Andy Garcia and Donald Sutherland.

 

I also wrote the horror/thriller feature, “The Counting House” starring Maggie Q (“Mission Impossible”).   And I wrote the script for the feature film “The Tricks of Love”, starring Natasha Lyonne, (“Orange is the New Black”) which won Best Picture at the Monaco International Film Festival and 3 major acting awards.  Following please find my bio and credits.  Please tell me how I can help you with any of your projects.

Cheers,

Richard A. Lasser
