Pen Ultimate Films is a film and television company founded by actress, filmmaker Danielle Bisutti and Executive Producer Ron Greenbaum. We fund and produce sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and psychological thriller projects to create the ultimate storytelling experience from the pen to the page to the screen.
It all began one fateful morning over a Zoom call. Enter Danielle, exhausted but invigorated after a long night filming her writer-directorial debut, Blood Rush, a vampire Western feature film co-starring Billy Zane. She pulls herself together and joins the Zoom call to meet Ron Greenbaum, a prospective investor who’s delighted by her horror-comedy genre mash-up. Magic sparked and the stars aligned, shining a light upon a new path forged by destiny when Ron said, “Hey Danielle, what do you think about partnering with me in a film fund and keeping the movie-making party going?” Danielle responded, “Hmm…let me think on it—YES! THE ANSWER IS YES!”
And thus, on August 14th, 2026, a film and television company that champions genre storytelling called Pen Ultimate Films was born. The Dynamic Duo hit the ground running with one project in post-production, two launching into production in November of 2026, and a scripted series in pre-production with production beginning in January 2027.
Pen Ultimate Films believes that sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and psychological thrillers offer heightened and boundaryless worlds to explore complex ideas, characters, and creatures as strange as humanity and beyond, thought provoking narratives and good jump scares that leave an indelible impression. We anchor our stories with a strong hook, emotional core, and universal themes that ring as true for humanity on earth as it does in galaxies far far away.
Our company is expanding everyday with the help of our multi-hyphenate production assistant, Grace Ryan, who advises on projects, offers script coverage, and creates deck materials. Come and meet the whole team…
As equity partners we offer financing for genre film and episodic projects. We curate projects with a strong script that can attract meaningful talent and a clear path to an audience, then we help deliver the dream to the screen.
Our team brings hands-on producing, writing, directing, and acting experience to shepherd every stage of production. We partner and collaborate from the first draft to the finished picture, including script development and production services. We consult with our film sales partners to help package our projects from inception to ensure the right budget, package, and delivery.
