Professional Feedback:

​

Judges Feedback from the Page Awards: "This is a unique and unusual story with an off-beat feel to it."

​

Judges Feedback from the Austin Film Festival:  "...emotionally mature subjects and possesses a strong handle on its thematic exploration on isolation and subsequently, the meaning of family."

​

Judges Feedback from The Writer's Lab: This story is certainly sensitive and requires a deft hand and the writer succeeded in communicating this to the audience. Scenes that are universally appealing, but hold specific sentimentality work very well. It’s also a fairly unique idea to show an older man who cares so much about becoming a father late in life. Although we’ve seen this story told many times with a female protagonist wanting to become a mother, we don’t often see the genders reversed. This was realistic and mirrors the experience of many families who are probably eager to have their stories told. The script is also a very good length and paced well. The audience feels fully swept up in this whirlwind of parenthood..."
