“This pilot has a lot of strengths, but the aspect which stands out the most is Alex’s character. More specifically, people want to root for someone hardworking, passionate, and kind. From what we see of Alex in this initial episode, he demonstrates all of these traits. Opening a comic book shop had been his dream since he was a kid, so we know he’s passionate, and the fact he’s been able to pull it off hints at his hard work. It’s the kindness which really shines, though.”

“The piece gives an exciting and hopeful perspective of what it looks like to open up a business and get out of debt…The piece was able to give us a well-rounded view of who Alex is in each season: fear, hope, depression, and joy. There were enough ups and downs for the initial antagonists to be pinpointed as well as his support systems and method of problem solving, along with how he gets himself into problems in the first place.”

“One highlight of this script is the fun concept. This feature does a great job of diving into the world of LARPing in a way that's both clear and interesting. By focusing on first-time LARPers, any reader of the script can get naturally acquainted with the concept in an entertaining way.”
