Ron Scalpello started his career in music journalism at the tender age of seventeen, working for Sounds in the early 90's interviewing, reviewing and hanging out with the likes of The Fall, Public Enemy and The Jesus and Marychain. After five years of front cover stories, Ron pursued his passion for film and studied for a BA in Film and Video whilst directing over twenty pop promos and writing for Dazed and Confused and Goal magazine; he then joined the BBC as an in-house director. Ron has since directed numerous promos, commercials & music videos including The Prodigy's "Voodoo People", and has won awards for his highly original and stylistic work including Best Director at the UK Promax for his commercial for Radio 5 Live. Ron's debut feature Offender starring Joe Cole, English Frank & Kimberly Nixon, was released summer 2012 by Revolver.
