Coverage excerpts provided by Screenwriting Staffing:
“The Wayfinders offers a fresh take on the classic ‘fish-out-of-water’ narrative, blending the heart of American country music with the rich traditions of Scottish folk culture. The unique cultural fusion not only distinguishes the screenplay from traditional dramedies but also expands its reach to audiences who appreciate music-infused storytelling.”
“The screenplay excels in crafting a strong sense of place and character, particularly in its opening sequences, which introduce Maisie as a bold yet vulnerable protagonist.”
“One of the strongest aspects of the screenplay is the depth of its character arcs, particularly Maisie’s journey of self-discovery and cultural connection. By the end of the pilot, Maisie has not only found a place in Glasgow but has taken the first step toward reclaiming her dream. The final moments leave the audience with a sense of excitement for what is ahead.”
The French Broad Revival

Akin to HBO’s Treme, set in post-Katrina New Orleans, The French Broad Revival channels the raw, creative spirit of Appalachia.
Coverage excerpts provided by The Black List:
"The project will likely appeal to prestige networks ever eager to have their fingers on the pulse and tuned into the current climate. It could find a home on outlets like Showtime and HBO."
"The immediacy of this script gives it huge, urgent market potential.”
"There’s a lot of good writing in here, and the subject matter is undoubtedly compelling, even beyond the culture’s usual fascination with disaster flicks."
“The obvious, great success of this script is in its rendering of the world of Asheville and surrounding environs, introducing a host of characters from all different strata and backgrounds, giving them all a sense of deep, lived life beyond the borders of the page.”
“That this all happened last year—not these specific stories, of course, but the larger catastrophe of Helene—lends real immediacy to the story, creating the chance for a kind of exegesis of the disaster, while showing enough sense of the cultural and human tolls to avoid feeling exploitative.”

“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” - Albert Einstein
