    Entertaining!

    Well thought out look at the creative writing process. Solid pacing and well rounded performances sell the abstract nature of the film's subject matter very well.

    Fake reviews alert!

    I have no idea what other reviewers watched.

    I would give it -10 if I could. I watched it for 10 min maybe, waiting and hoping for it to get better and I gave up, it was UNWATCHABLE!

    Horrible! Stay away from this stinker.

    Nice look at screenwriting

    This is a both thoughtful and amusing look at the process of writing for film and television. It is at times reflective but mostly humorous. Filmed in a interesting pace that showcases the actors fine performances. Worth a watch.

    My type of Indie

    I loved this film. Everything about it. Even the way it started had me excited and reminded me of an old series sit com but then led into a movie. I'm into Indie films and this one makes you think. Especially if your into the creative writing/arts. For me it was relatable. I would watch it again. Bravo!

    Thought Provoking Indie Film!

    I've experienced so many different emotions watching this! I loved it. Don't be fooled by the look of it. When I search for an indie film, I'm looking for something bold, something different, something studios wouldn't have the guts to produce. I highly recommend!
