Tony Del Degan
Writer - Director - Actor
Tony Del Degan is a self-published author, screenwriter, director, and actor. His first novel, The Plight of Steel, is a publicly acclaimed story, and his upcoming film, Exactly Where I Saw Them, will be a showcase of both his writing and directed skill. Tony is a unique talent who thinks outside the box and expands on what one would normally expect from a seventeen-year-old. His ambition shines through in his work, and so does his dedication to the art of storytelling.
Praise
“Tony is an absolute champion with endless talent! NEVER fails to impress no matter what he does!! If he has a dream, you best believe he’s gonna put his heart and mind into it…”
“Wow… this book is worth the read. To be honest I’m not a consistent fan of this genre yet the author has breathed some serious light, shadow and colour into these characters. Loads of themes that are tightly interwoven throughout the story… abuse of power, the rough road to compromise, learning to own your gifts… for me, all this led to a very engaging story and an easy read. If this is the first novel for Tony Del Degan then I so look forward to seeing where this takes him.”
