Semi-finalist in the Austin Revolution Film Festival. Also a winner (First Prize - RI Spotlight on New England) at the Flickers' Rhode Island International Film Festival. Finished within the top 15% of the Nashville Film Festival and within the top 20% of the Academy Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting.

"The narrative does an outstanding job jumping between time periods as well as distinguishing between worlds all while maintaining a solid and consistent structure. It's easy to imagine this story on the big screen. From top to bottom the script feels honest and organic. Overall, the story has a 'novelesque' quality that's both charming and endearing."
