Impressive and inspiring

Found this because of John August and I’m super impressed with the production value and the script. All made by a budding screenwriter. Such a smart idea. Love it and keep going!!!!

ClaNiLe ,

Fun, sexy, silly, modern

There’s real character development and an actual, unique twist in the plot. Looking forward to episode two!
