Dean Rinaldi
Story to Screen Architect
Everything you need to legitimately pitch a TV show or film
There has never been a better time to transform your self published book or idea into a blockbuster movie or hit television series. Streaming platforms are hungry for new content and audiences are demanding authentic, unique stories.
About Dean
I’m Dean Rinaldi, a British ghostwriter with extensive film experience, 33 published titles and 5 movie options to my name. I specialise in transforming raw ideas, as well as fully published books, into industry ready packages that producers, agents and studios take seriously.
Over the years, I’ve worked with the famous, the infamous and the absolutely unforgettable, including a member of the notorious Kray family, former prolific villains, 70s RocknRoller Dave Bartram of Showaddywaddy, a former Nevada Madam who sold out to the Mob, and Roy Larner, known worldwide as The Lion of London Bridge.
This isn’t just about writing a book. It’s about positioning your story for the screen, building something that stands up in the real world of film and television, and giving it a genuine shot at being optioned.

Testimonials
“Telling my story required more than just words on a page. It needed heart, accuracy and courage. From our first conversation, I knew that I was in good hands. What truly exceeded all expectations was the strategic vision beyond the book itself. The Lion of London Bridge is now being made into a movie. Thank you, Dean.”
“The King of the Teds trilogy was always meant to be more than nostalgia. It was a coming of age story rooted in a fictionalised subculture. It needed imagination as much as authenticity and from the outset, it felt like true collaboration. Seeing the story gain industry traction and ultimately secure a movie option was extraordinary.”
“This was a complex and sensitive story and it demanded absolute discretion, intelligence and balance. My perspective was preserved with clarity and authority, resulting in a book that feels authentic and compelling. The movie option was a welcome bonus. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dean Rinaldi.”
