SONG FOR THE ASKING
(Feature, Drama)
QUARTERFINALIST (top 10%), 2019 PAGE Awards
"The first ten pages are some of the strongest I've seen in an un-produced screenplay. The imagery was vivid, with smaller details added to make the reader feel like they were really there. I was impressed from the very beginning." ~ Coverfly Peer Review
SARAH, SOLDIER
(Feature, Historical Drama)
SEMIFINALIST, International Faith in Film Screenplay Competition (2018)
SEMIFINALIST, ScreenCraft's Public Domain Competition (2018)
"As someone who loves historical pieces, this Civil War drama was excellent in its tone and execution of its concept. I followed right along with Sarah's journey through the rigors of the time; the War, the mentality of the people of the time, and the historical context of what Sarah went through. Her story is an important one to tell, and her trials are relevant to this day when it comes with the struggles women being accepted." ~Coverfly Peer Review
