I am so impressed. I didn’t get my review and wrote inquiring about it. They resent it within the hour and actually called to make sure I received it. The feedback was perfect for my mystery story, where you want to tell enough but not tell too much to keep the story going. I will be sending more mystery screenplays their way. Meanwhile, I can hardly wait to see their reading of 2-4 pages in March or April.

Sofia Portanet – Lust feat., 3min., France/Germany, Musical
Directed by Béla Baptiste
Lust delves into themes of love, passion, self-doubt, depression, and healing. The song expresses the longing for closeness and the desire to heal someone through kisses and love. When we feel unwell, we often withdraw and isolate ourselves, making it difficult to let someone in—both emotionally and physically. Allowing oneself to be held, to be loved, and to surrender in another’s arms requires courage and a willingness to open up. Though not always easy, there is beauty in being truly seen for who we are, beyond self-doubt and difficult times.
