Robert
Dean Klein was born and raised a movie freak in the suburbs of West
Orange, NJ. He spent weekends as a child in dark movie theaters,
only to return home and continue the story where it left off on
his typewriter.
At 23, he moved to Atlanta, GA with childhood friend, Chris Williams,
who would later become his film-producing partner. In the south,
Mr. Klein would write four screenplays - the first of which, "Peaces
Of Ronnie" (aka "A Cold Day In August"), was entered
into the 1995 Nichol Fellowship in Screenwriting competition. His
virgin attempt would make it to the semi-finals of that year's contest,
placing in the top 90 out of 4000 scripts.
Inspired to return north, Mr. Klein moved to New York City and began
the long process of getting this film made. In the seven-year span,
he would complete a total of fifteen scripts. Mr. Klein began a
career of ghostwriting and co-writing scripts for hire by various
directors and producers. One of the more fruitful relationships
formed was with director Uwe Boll - the two collaborated on such
titles as "Sanctimony", "Blackwoods", "Zero
Hour" and "Homeroom".
In the summer of 2000, he had two of his films ("Dead Dogs
Lie" and "Kill Charlie") produced and directed by
Mr. Williams and Mr. Craig Singer. Finally, in February of 2001,
"A Cold Day in August" became a reality, starring Michael
Rapaport and Gary Stretch. All three of these projects are currently
in post-production. Mr. Klein is in the process of setting up the
follow-up with his producing/directing team.
