"Selina Ringel made my transition from screenwriter to screen director a wondrous and enlightening experience! Daily problems became daily solutions thanks to Selina Ringel. Thank you!"
Salvador Paskowitz
Writer | The Age of Adaline
"I called Selina with the crazy idea of producing a movie based on a true story with no prior experience. I learned everything from fundraising, script ideation, casting and more next to her! Selina truly puts her heart and soul into her work. She gives you everything she's got when she gets into a project. I am humbled to have worked with someone of such high integrity and so committed to my success. A truly great creative consultant but so much more."
Victoire Cogevina
Producer & Founder
"Trusting Selina with guiding advice for a project was easy as she has so much experience and knowledge of the film industry. Not only is she fun and creative, but a pleasure to collaborate with. Selina has helped propel my projects to a higher level. She even gave me advice that helped me cut my budget in half and saved me a lot of time. Will use her expertise every time, highly recommend!"
Crystal Schainuck
Show Host & Content Creator
"Selina's notes on my screenplay provided me with great insights on how to tackle the next draft, which was infinitely better than the previous one. The screenplay then went on to make the semi-finals in the Blue Cat Screenplay Competition and is now in the finals, it is also now being optioned by a production company. I am extremely grateful for Selina's guidance."
Alec James
Comedian & Screenwriter
"The fact that Selina Ringel was able to turn my small $10k budget into a fully produced half hour pilot presentation with a full-blown crew is nothing short of a miracle!"
Justin D.M. Palmer

"Professional, creative and fun to work with!!!"
Mireya Rios
TikToker & Content Creator
"When I got to L.A. I was faced with many challenges as I pursued my career in acting. The biggest one being that you needed a reel to get a job, but how would you have a reel if you hadn't worked before! Selina showed me that I had all the tools I needed to create my own content, and therefore my own path. Not only did she guide me through the entire process, we ended up winning international awards with the amazing content we created!"
Ivana De Maria
Actress & Producer
"Selina worked night and day to ensure the vision for the story came alive."
Abi Corbin

"Selina is an undeniable force of nature. The advice she gives is invaluable for anyone who struggles with self-doubt or needs some practical guidance in this crazy industry. I wish I had read this book when I was starting out as a young filmmaker in Hollywood!"
