SCREENPLAY

“This is an enormously talented writer. The writing is powerful and poetic. The characters are especially vivid and compelling. I’ve rarely read a script as good as this one - as a producer I would hire this writer in a second. This is a brilliant script and will make a powerful movie.”
Pamela Wallace Academy award-winner for Witness
