HARMONY - This is a very interesting and timely project. I'm glad I got a chance to hear the pitch from the author. This deserves to be made.

Script & Pitch Reviews

THE WHITE DIAMOND - The White Diamond...left a significant impression on me. Your storytelling skills, coupled with the compelling narrative and well drawn characters make this project stand out. I believe the White Diamond has the potential to find great success commercially.

WAYWARD SOULS-

The pitch was short and sweet. I get the basic idea of what the story is about and the genre.

Read the script and you are considered for my exclusive 10 person writing team with Rare to Reel.

THE WHITE DIAMOND -

I really enjoyed your pitch and found your opening very engaging. You didn't ramble on and were laser focused explaining the strengths and weakenesses, enough to draw me in and want to know more. I am delighted to read your story of The White Diamond. Score

Wayward Souls -

A powerful and ambitious plot with 3 leads worthy of a series in terms of the potential conflict, revelations, and character development...

The White Diamond -

Superior script! Loaded with social consciousness, exciting action and tender humanness. I cried on page 17. This is a film that needs to be made.

I just finished reading the script of The White Diamond : one word : BRILLIANT! I loved it!!! The story is strong, deep, and moving. I especially appreciated how we follow RJ and Cordell’s characters and witness their evolution in the social acceptance of RJ’s identity — one from a direct perspective, the other as a steadfast supporter. It’s a hard and profound journey you're telling here, and beyond being wonderfully written, it truly grabs you. The ending was absolutely amazing. By intertwining sports and social challenges, it becomes not only powerful but also genuinely inspiring. Bravo!

Script & Pitch Reviews

Hiding in Plain Sight -

Overall, you've written a deeply important and emotionally resonant screenplay that tackles transgender experience with authenticity and heart.
The story arc is compelling, following Dana from childhood confusion through adult acceptance in a way
that feels earned rather than manipulative. Your central character is well-developed and sympathetic, and the supporting characters mostly serve the story effectively.
