Press Quotes:

“ The film is so full of wisdom about the agony and ecstasy of writing —
and the perils of asking a friend for advice — that it should be required
viewing in all screenwriting classes... Russell Brown's direction is often
razor-sharp and the action climaxes with a virtuoso cameo appearance by the
great Karen Black as a wily and wise script consultant.”
- William Arnold, Seattle Post-Intelligencer

“...What's striking, brilliant, and refreshing about this story is its sheer
minimalist quality. I think there were seven scenes total in the 80 minute
running time, with only six characters carrying the dialogue load. And what
dialogue it is! Beautiful and quotable, intriguing and challenging. There
are so many great themes here, you truly wonder how writer/director Russell
Brown will find something else to write about in future projects...”
- Laremy Legel, Film.Com

“...Playing like a junior version of an early David Mamet talkfest, this
arch look at the ups and downs of struggling screenwriters has more than its
share of well-landed zingers...”
- Robert Horton, The Herald

“...The Blue Tooth Virgin nails this mentality and hammers it right to the
wall. The pain, the self-doubt, the insecurity, the anger, all of it resides
deep within these two characters and watching them evolve as they deal with
it was far more fascinating and enthralling than I had originally thought it
would be...”
- Sara Fetters, Moviefreak.com

“...Brown understands that people, especially writers, seem to need
validation, and this is one of the reasons why they need to write and to be
told their work is worthy...”
- Mike Caccioppoli, CinCity2000.com

The Best of the Blogs:

“A smart, funny, trenchant satire of the Hollywood scene...The dialog
sparkles throughout, highly literate, funny. And the acting is first
rate...A gem of an American indie film.”
- Ken Rudolph's Movie Site

“I was also struck by the perceptive commentary riddled throughout this film
on the creative process... It delves into the need for validation, having
standards versus getting results, the ability to accept criticism with
grace, how art can reflect the life, soul, and needs of the artist, the
inability to accept the success of others with grace, and the desperate need
to be 'seen' and yet the counterproductive fear of that very thing... I
think anyone who is an artist, no matter what walk thereof, will find this
film plucking several resonant chords...Insightful and hilarious.”
- Mediababe Live Journal

“Smart, engaging, and surprisingly philosophical... Go check it out! Austin
Peck is actually a good actor, and Karen Black's part is MUST SEE!!”
- SIFF Reviews by Zhen Wang

“...A thoughtful dissection of screenwriters”
