“I could tell Robert is a natural storyteller from page one just like I did when I first read ‘ROCKY’ by Sylvester Stallone. ‘STANO’ is a winner!”
- John G. Avildsen - Academy Award-Winning Director (Rocky, The Karate Kid)
“Working with Robert could not have been any more of a pleasure. He is super dedicated, unendingly hard-working and truly collaborative. I would not hesitate to embark on another adventure with Robert.”
- William Chartoff - PRODUCER (Rocky Balboa, Creed, Creed2, Bottom of the 9th)
“Robert is a talented, collaborative writer with an agile, curious mind as well as a kind, ethical human being. Anyone would be lucky to work with him. Robert is an oasis of calm professionalism in the midst of an often challenging business.”
- Lynn Hendee - Producer/CHARTOFF PRODUCTIONS (ENDERS GAME, Bottom of the 9th)
“I had tears in my eyes when I read the script. I had to do it.”
- Sofia Vergara - Golden Globe Winning Actress
“Robert and I developed a friendship and working relationship which led me to bringing him on to write a project with me, “Their Way”. His work was inspiring, and brought the script to a place that I could have never done alone.”
- Scott Rosenfelt - PRODUCER (Home Alone, Mystic Pizza, Critical Thinking)
“Bruzio..knows better than to ever push things too far or strain credibility. As a result, “Bottom of the 9th” doesn’t make things easy for any of its sympathetic characters.”
- VARIETY
“When I first read Robert’s lovely screenplay “Stano” (Bottom Of the 9th) I knew he’d found an unusually poignant story to tell and had crafted a fine work of screenwriting. As they used to say, he’s ‘the real stuff’.”
- Raymond De Felitta - Academy Award Nominated Director (Bottom of the 9th, City Island, Madoff)
“Bottom of the 9th wraps up with no extra innings, delivering just enough melodrama and Americana to earn its time on the diamond.”
