For a number of reasons, Ronald Diltz II is inspired and drawn
to the industry of theatre and film. While in high school, he was introduced to
theatre by his drama teacher, Vickie Warden. She was influential in his growth
as a student and as an actor. Additionally,
she encouraged him to pursue professional opportunities in theatre. Following graduation from high school, he
found himself studying theatre at the University of Florida.
Being a theatre major at the University of Florida was a great opportunity;
however, Ronald soon felt dissatisfied with his theatrical growth. Through the grace
of God, in 2004 the director of Black History Month afforded him the
opportunity to write and direct his first play. Ronald was honored, and felt
empowered to make his mark. He didn’t just want to write and direct the play,
he wanted to share in the experience with his cast; therefore, Ronald cast
himself in the lead male role. After
experiencing the success of this production, he fell in love with writing and
making his stories come alive for an audience. He began to realize that God
allowed him to struggle to develop a deeper appreciation for the anointing
placed on his life. Thereafter, Ronald
wrote, directed, and performed, in two additional plays prior to graduating
with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre.
Although Ronald Diltz II followed his heart, and pursued his
passion in theatre, he still yearned for more knowledge and experience. Throughout his undergraduate studies, he followed the growth and
struggles of filmmakers and playwrights, and became inspired by their
accomplishments. Ronald became intrigued and decided to acquire knowledge and
expertise in the film industry, and to use this knowledge to grow as a
producer, writer, director, and actor on a broader scale. He enrolled to study Film Production at Full Sail
University. Full Sail afforded him the
opportunity to acquire hands on experiences in various aspects of the film
industry and transitioned Ronald from a playwright to a screenwriter.
Ronald went on to produce several more plays and films that he
wrote and directed. He is the owner of GOLDENCHILD PRODUCTIONS, which is a
production company that focuses on producing films and plays that change lives.
Ronald was given an opportunity to return back to his former middle school,
Robinswood Middle, where he was the Drama and TV Productions Instructor for two
years. Ronald has recently started the Masters of Science program for
Entertainment Business at Full Sail University. He was also recently offered
the position of film advisor in the career development department at Full Sail
University. In which, he gladly accepted.
Ronald has a lot to offer in more than one area of this
industry. His life has been full of stories and struggles. He truly believes
God has put him through everything for a reason. Ronald trusts God and
understands He is in control of everything he does and every step he takes.
Ronald is thankful for his trials and tribulations because he knows he is
blessed in the Lord and highly favored. Ronald prays that you can see the
talents that God has blessed in him, and he anxiously wait for God to continue
to use him.
