WRITERS 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."

ORIGIN 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."
