Because of my devotion to promoting the works of some actors (in this case, Rick Ravanello), I happened upon a future film of his--Jessica Frost. As it looked like filming was getting closer, I connected with the director, Runar Bernsten, and he was gracious enough to answer a few questions for me about his work in the entertainment business as well as this upcoming feature (and a special announcement--so read to the end!).

RH: It was actually the upcoming production Jessica Frost that led me to finding you. Rick Ravanello has become a really good friend of mine.
RB: Rick's a good friend of mine, too. Great guy.
So how did you get started in the entertainment business?
You know, it's …show more content…
It's fun to go back to what you love.
I was doing some research, but I didn't see a lot about you online. I didn't see a lot listed for you on IMDB.
Well, first of all, let me tell you, I spent about three years trying to get off IMDB. (laughs) In my opinion, IMDB has become this avenue for Amazon to sell products. I don't necessarily believe half of the information there.
Well, there is some truth there as I have found several inconsistencies. I go to IMDB as a starting point, but then I look around and see what I can find elsewhere. So at this point, your company has done how many films?
We have done things that are both released and unreleased. Right now, Jessica Frost is really the big feature film for me personally and my company. My screenwriter and I co-created this story over the course of two years. We just locked in our thirty-seventh draft. (laughs) We went through the ringer with this script. After thirty-seven times, we decided to lock the script.

Wow, that is unbelievable. I can't remember when we started hearing about the film. We heard about it some time this year, and then we didn't hear about it for awhile. But if you guys have been going through that with the script, that makes sense. So who is your screenwriter on this
