is acclaimed screenwriter and director, Ronald F. Maxwell.

The son of a World War II veteran and a French war-bride, Ron Maxwell founded the Garden State Players in New Jersey, where he wrote, produced and directed dozens of plays and musicals. An NYU theatre major, he was a member of its Hall of Fame Players and the Green Room Honor Society. His work in NYU's theater program earned him a scholarship to NYU's Graduate School of the Arts, Institute of Film and Television.

Following graduation he worked in Spain as Charlton Heston's personal assistant in Heston's directorial debut, Antony and Cleopatra. Hollywood “drafted ” Ron, where his first theatrical film, Little Darlings, opened #1 on Variety's Top hundred grossing films. Subsequently he directed The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia, Parent Trap II, a feature length documentary on the Nicaraguan Civil War entitled, In the Land of the Poets, and the landmark film Gettysburg, which has been hailed as one of the greatest war movies in the history of film.
