Pilot Reviews:​

"Anyone who has experienced a monumental life-altering event knows this story. The piece is visceral, heart-wrenching, and heartwarming. This writer certainly has a gift." - Screencraft Fellowship​

​

"We've had a few pieces tackle similar themes, [...] but this show somehow makes it feel fresh and personal, engaging audience empathy in visceral ways. I'm very excited to watch where this goes." - Big Break Contest, Finalist​

​

"I feel it's a safe bet that more than a few of us have found ourselves in this situation: sitting on the concrete, trying to gather the threads of our day after everything's been blown apart." - Shore Script, TV Contest​​

​

"Fleabag, with health issues." - Stage 32
