  • What an amazing storyteller!

    I can't believe it's taken this long to share Ron's stories with the world. He has played such an important part in the world of science fiction / horror classics and it's been so fun to hear about the early days of Alien, Total Recall and Minority Report. This is before anyone had even heard of Ridley Scott, Sigourney Weaver and HR Giger!
