Here's what people in Hollywood are saying about "West of 5"
| Dimension Films: | "Margules does a skillful job of intereweaving several storylines." |
| Phoenix Pictures: |
"This may be crude humor, but it's hilarious. The story is off the wall, outrageous. The characters are all walking train wrecks and like any good train wreck it's impossible to look away. It's an enjoyable page turner, but it's not a traditional studio movie. If produced this may develop a cult following." "Once the liquor starts flowing the action begins to make the readers feel like they too are over the legal limit." "Under normal circumstances these characters wouldn't work well together, but in these conditions you couldn't ask for a better cast." "If there ever was an interesting experimental independent project to try and make, this is it. It's all drunken debauchery and would probably be a blast to film." |
| Scriptwriters Network Producers Outreach Program: |
"The writer's dialogue is often witty and the situations can be both comic and sad at the same time." "...all of it has been done by a talented writer." "The writer does an excellent job of depicting Ardath's growing frustration. Being a nice guy myself, I recognized his tentativeness, uncertainty and desire to receive a signal from Hilary that it was okay to proceed. The writing is so well done that half the time it seemed both to me and Ardath that he had received the okay, only to be lead astray again." "Character development is something else this writer does well. Even the minor characters are well drawn, especially Larry, who's appearance is very short but nonetheless you get a very good feeling for who he is." "The dialogue is for the most part witty and on target. There are some very good zingers and talented actresses will have a field day with these roles. The writer does almost everything well. Description is no exception. I was never confused with where people were or what was going on, but at the same time the description was still spare and not overwritten." |
