— Reviewer, The Black List (Rating: 9/10)

 

"There’s absolutely a market for EMPIRE WAIST and it would be relatively inexpensive to produce. There has to be a home for this script somewhere." 

— Reviewer, The Black List

"EMPIRE WAIST is a deftly written script with excellent development of themes that the movies could use more of. The premise is original and soaring, and ought to resonate broadly with moviegoers and the current cultural moment."

The narrative's themes of self-love, body positivity, empowerment, and femininity are developed with force, clarity and just the right amount of balance to make them ring true, and give the premise lasting appeal." ​
