We had the good fortune of connecting with Ron Elliott Jr. and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ron, what’s the most important thing you’ve done for your children?
The most impactful thing I’ve done as a parent is to be fully present, transparent, and available.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am an award winning filmmaker. I produce, write, direct, act, and score. The biggest lesson that I’ve learned on this journey is the importance of building a great team. Having a great team is the only way to achieve long-term success in any business.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
So I don’t go out much. I think Downtown Detroit, Birmingham, Royal Oak, and Ferndale can provide unique experiences for someone visiting the Metro area.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to shoutout Samia, Aniya, Alaina, and Sophia for being my inspiration.
