About Rutger
I’m a bold, boundary-pushing storyteller drawn to dark ironies, psychological complexity, and high-stakes journeys—whether chasing serial killers through time or exploring moral collapse in history’s darkest chapters. As a writer and thinker, I blend relentless curiosity with emotional depth, always chasing the heart of the story no matter where it leads.
Giving birth to movie and TV concepts,
I work with:
Jerel Damon - writer/director;
Sallie Olson - writer; and
Alexander Hahn - writer/director/(exec)producer
Philip Sedgwick - writer/director/(exec)producer
and many others.
Unique traits: I have a great imagination. Think outside the box.
