REVIEWS:

"As an insider's guide for screenwriters trying to crash the gates, DREAMS ON SPEC is – pardon the expression – pitch perfect."
--Steven E. de Souza, Screenwriter, DIE HARD

"The interviews with the WGA veterans are especially wonderful. Film lore treasures. The film segments with the Gotta-be screenwriters is grist for the tyro writer's mind."
--Lew Hunter, Screenwriting Guru

"I think this is fascinating and extremely well-articulated stuff.”
--Ed Solomon, Screenwriter, MEN IN BLACK

"An absorbing, entertaining and accurate look at the perils and promise of screenwriting. Manages to be both honest and compassionate."
            --Dennis Palumbo, Screenwriter, MY FAVORITE YEAR

DREAMS ON SPEC is an “eye opening and provocative documentary. … It’s the first doco to examine the frustrating life of the lowly screenwriter.”
--Anne Brodie, Monsters & Critics

“Why hasn’t there been a look at screenwriters and their lives like this before? No matter, this documentary makes you wish for a series. … Director Snyder employs an effective, subtle style as he easily draws us into the ups and downs the artists go through.”
--Adam Barnick, Entertainment Insiders

“The end result is a film that is educational for screenwriters at all levels, while being entertaining and universal enough to appeal to viewers who don't know their INT. from the EXT."
--Creative Screenwriting Magazine

“All aspects of this production are top-notch. Bonus material on the DVD includes additional interviews with the … pro scribes and is full of valuable insight. If you’re a screenwriter, budding or pro, you will not want to miss this engrossing documentary. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll get a real feeling for what a roller-coaster this business of screenwriting can be.”
--Jim Vines, The Working Screenwriter
