      I loved the "pitch"- as a long time fundraiser, I am impressed! Looking forward to the premier in Austin.
      I also watched, "I Love you Will Smith" and think it is fantastic.
      PS- Totally got the Tear/Tier

      I think your script is brilliant. You have nothing to be insecure about on every front.
      I only wish I could have controlled the creative blocks at my audition :~\ and delivered the hilarious dialogue you deserve!
      It's good to know other artists have doubts :)
      All the best on your journey!

      Loved the blog on the read-through. Nothing more difficult than having your writing critiqued and esp. with an idol watching.
      It took me a minute, but I liked the tier/tear play on words.

      I'm definitely biased, but I love this script. I'm eager to see it produced with the right resources. TMWNC has been hailed by many of its readers as Bradley's best script because it reaches deeper than any of his previous works. Not only will you guys enjoy the finished film, but I believe Bradley will grow immensely from this directorial opportunity. Let's keep pushing for the goal! We can do it!

      Some people are telling us that we misspelled "Tier" with "Tear". I guess my pun for "The Man Who Never Cried" didn't quite come across. Kickstarter won't let me change the incentives portion. Oh well. :*(
