David Kukoff in conversation with Ronald Colby

Ronald Colby began his career as a playwright and actor in New York City. Stolen away to Hollywood by director-writer Francis Ford Coppola, Ron began producing films and television. Always wanting to try his hand at a novel, he began writing Night Driver two decades ago, but the rigors of film work kept pulling him away and later to concentrate on writing and directing feature documentary films. After years of fitful starts, Ronald walked away from film and completed Night Driver. A graduate of Columbia University and UCLA Film School, David Kukoff has eleven produced film and television credits to his name. He has written for every studio and network in Hollywood, has published two books on film and television writing, and has been the subject of features in Variety, Entertainment Weekly, and The Hollywood Reporter. Mr. Kukoff has taught writing at Northwestern, UCLA, and NYU, has served as a guest editor to Palgrave MacMillan, and has been a featured as a guest lecturer at UCLA’s Faculty Lecture Series at Lake Arrowhead.
