Besides being one of America's most plentiful writers, of the Mystery Genre. Kaminsky inspired many writers in this genre, such as Chicagoan Sara Paretsky, by which dedicated the first novel in her private-eye series to Kaminsky himself.
Kaminsky has also influenced us Crimson Webb Films in making a unique horror movie called 'Patient Purgatory', by developing a title sequence, by showing and bringing to our attention the importance of the main protagonists in the movie/title sequence as they are important plot devices in these sorts of plot especially involving the horror genre.
Kaminsky's success as a novelist shows as proof that his way of conveying a story to the reader whether it be written in a novel or portrayed by an actor/actress on scene by a script. So we Crimson Webb are adopting his technique for our title sequence and film production as he has clearly been successful with his books; so we can be as successful ourselves by implementing this strategy into our own work ethic and motivation to be more successful as a company.
