"Darren captures character nuances like no other. The dialogs and descriptions are filled with subtleties and complex interactions giving incredible depth to every single character, making even the most transient ones: memorable. He's one of the most gifted screenwriters we have had the pleasure of working with, and hope to work with again in the near future. Across genres he has proven to master the intricacies of human interaction in an effortless and engaging style. Any filmmaker is fortunate to work with him. "Christina Ochoa - QE Productions LLC.
