A stunning portrayal of the emotional journey of a rock star, whose raw emotions are palpable. The depiction of the music industry's eagerness to commodify grief and exploit an artist's vulnerability for profit is a thought-provoking and timely exploration of the tension between creativity and commerce. -Slamdance Reader

The Writers Lab Quarterfinalist

Screencraft Comedy Quarterfinalist (feature)

"Each character offers a different life perspective of living as a superhero. This allows different people to connect to it differently. I think playing towards a real life aspect gave it a certain charm that could feel unique for this genre. You put out a lot of strong messages for females everywhere."  -Screencraft review
