WHAT INDUSTRY PROS SAY ABOUT ME
Hello Dan,
Can I just be candid for a moment? I'm going to have to start calling
you Dan the Man from now on. The second draft was fantastic! I don't
know where to begin. It exceeded my expectations. I am deeply moved by
the story and feel it really captures the essence of Mike and Sam's
journey and the problem facing homelessness in America.
Our script is close enough to the book so people familiar with Mike's
journey will appreciate the references but it's original so we have
something new to offer the literary fans. A nice balance between
original and authentic if you know what I mean.
-- Peter Fuhrman, Executive Producer, Under the Overpass (in development)

"I've known Danek S. Kaus for ten years and I've had
the pleasure of working with him. He is a very talented screenwriter and
rewriter. He's open to notes, "gets it" is able to
implement suggestions, often giving more than what's suggested, and he
does it fast. I think he'll go a long way."
-- Madeline DiMaggio, Producer, Screenwriter, Honest
Engine Films, author of How to Write for Television.

"Danek S. Kaus has the eye to capture
fascinating people and let them come to life in his writing. In Simple
Gifts - the biopic of Ann Lee, Kaus invites us into the world of the
Shaker religion. He highlights one of the strongest women of her time. I was
drawn to this compelling screenplay and would love to see it on the big
screen."
-- Marilyn Kentz, Actress, Author

"Dan Kaus is a great creative ally for any
producer of director. He handles every project with the highest degree of
professionalism and personal care.
Kaus really listens and works steadfast to achieve
satisfaction for all, without sacrificing his signature style and perfectly in
line with the creators' vision. Kaus writes rock solid
He knows how to create a fresh, authentic story
actors just love to play in. This is a great asset. Kaus also has a very
fine-tuned sense of self-evaluation and
critique which really makes a difference in writing a
truly polished, trial & tested script.
Kaus is easy to work with, has a great sense of
humor, zero ego problems. I personally enjoyed working with him in the past and
looking forward to pursue our long-term collaboration on future projects."
-- Max Perrier Producer/Director of The Ante

At first I was a little skeptical about turning my book into a screenplay, but I'm pleased to say that Dan did a great job. He made the screenplay an exciting, compelling story that I can't wait to watch on the big screen.

Danek S. Kaus is a master storyteller. He guided me to streamline the structure of some fiction I was working on and to add more connection to characters for the readers. Hiring Danek is one of the best investments in editing that I have done with my current 10 books published.

It was a pleasure working with Dan on the project of converting my book into a screenplay. Having no previous experience in screen writing, and being eager to see my book turn into a movie one day, I searched the net for ideas. Dan's open and helpful manner, won me over, and he did a fine job of turning my story into a
screenplay. Dan's experience in this field, and the advice he gives along the way, is an invaluable step in the process of turning your story into a movie. Thanks Dan, next step Hollywood.
