Press Highlights (Writing)
American Retail Feature Film (Written By):
“This is a really good, bold, well-written, informative and important script. We learn a lot about a horrible industry from both what we see and hear, and it is a welcome tale, amidst the #MeToo revelations. We have seen a lot of pieces about sexual abuse in the entertainment industry among high powered people, but this masterfully sheds light on how it occurs to people we see every day and might not even notice. Not only do we learn how they are exploited sexually, but also financially. The writing is smart, bold, slick and fresh. The content and style are both really good.” -- Slamdance Review 2021
"This script slings a shocking BOMBSHELL-style wrecking ball…Rife with cynical yet spot-on social commentary and an engaging emotional through-line, this script delivers a lasting impact that will echo beyond its final pages." -- The BlackList Evaluation, 2021
"Attractive roles abound, from a talent perspective, and while it may feel more at home in the independent crossover arena, it feels as if there is a market for this story and a need for it to be told.” -- The BlackList Evaluation, 2021
