"Cara's [original TV pilot] "Twirl" ... is damned near a masterpiece, a no-holds-barred depiction of an unravelling rural American family during the farming crisis of the early 1980’s. [It is] the American Dream is turned on its head -- from a goal to be achieved to a feverish state of being from which we might not wake. Truly one of the best scripts I have ever encountered." ~Howard Emanuel, Screenwriter & Playwright
