REVIEWS/ COVERAGE OF REBIRTH:
Mark Hastings, Judge, Screenwriter, Project Greenlight: “ Rebirth spans the bridge from European classics to Hollywood high concept, and then reaches out and touches the heart of the American Heartland. Rebirth is the best, most relevant script I’ve read.”
P. B. Academy Award Winning Screenwriter “The protagonists are forced to come face to face with brutal intolerance. Their honour, integrity and courage are tested which gives the script a strong through-line... The protagonist’s journey evolves from an uncommitted, young artist to a young man who refuses to be a passive observer of the horror unfolding before him. There's great potential in this script.”
Sasha Lauren, Epiphany Scripts "What could be better than centering a plot on the fight of good vs. evil? This script has it all-- from the love and romance, to the martyrs and heroes staking their lives on the quest for peace and justice, to the heartbreaking tragedy, death and despair. Your characters are multi-dimensional. I LOVED IT!"
Gordy Hoffman from Bluecat writes: "Rebirth is the best written screenplay that has come across my desk in weeks. Your concept is intelligent You create a mood and an atmosphere, instead of merely directing your characters.”.
USC Professor: “Rebirth is in the vein a la Elizabeth, Elizabeth I, Braveheart, Tudors, Marie Antoinette with its young, beautiful lovers who eventually triumph in their faith and love for each other despite the horrific backdrop of brutality, torture, executions, assassinations. Rebirth should make for an engrossing film experience.”
Steven Paul Mark, Entertainment Attorney, NYC “ The script makes me want to see the film. This sweeping epic is instructive for all time. Don’t they call that a classic?”
