ON THE STORM: |
"Although
screenplay competitions are usually overloaded with historical dramas,
'Martyr' stands out above
the pack. ... The writer has obviously done all of the research to make
things feel totally authentic. The story captures the
time and location, and the dialogue is exceptional. ... The protagonist
is undeniably
strong. Saint Sebastian is everything you want and need in a hero, a
man willing to stand up for what he believes in no
matter the consequences."

ENTERTAINMENT: |
"This
is
a compelling story that shows a lot of promise as something that will
reach the audience on an emotional level. Given the large
cast and many characters to track, the story moves well and offers
wisdom,
truth, and
grace in return for watching some harrowing executions. ...
Structurally, the story tracks well, and all the main
turning points are evident."
