REVIEWS "Wow! and double wow! This is one of the most unique stories this reviewer has come across in a long time...This is a fascinating story with characters so lifelike that they seem like warm, breathing people; it captivates the reader and appears to be a really good candidate for the silver screen." -Cynthia Butler, Moondance Film Festival "This script is the most beautifully written script I've read in a long time. The writing itself is phenomenal, the story is fantastic, and the plot points are not only well placed, the characters in each small story are rich with the kind of depth and detail that other authors can only establish over an entire manuscript. It's difficult to offer suggestions or critique on a piece that requires no direction-the author understands the art of telling a fine story. Author writes with a fluidity and grace found in highly regarded literature. The details in this story create the most visually impactful scenes imaginable. Each "memory" that Yuji conjures up is unique and so well crafted. I love the secondary characters and I found the piece so touching I actually felt emotional at the end. Of all the scripts I read for this contest, this one shines so brightly it couldn't be missed from page. Superb job!" -Cinequest 14 Coverage |
