Reviews:
“Overall, this is a unique story, showing the struggles, hope and heartache that women experience, trying to have a baby…It reveals the procedures that these women endure to have a family in a moving and personal way.”
-Austin Screenplay
“This is some truly excellent scene description. It’s detailed enough to make it very clear who these characters are, but not so much that it gets bogged down…The script also takes very difficult subject matter and deals with it in a way that is quite authentic and respectful.”
-Blue Cat Screenplay
“The Rock Within explores fertility and insecurity for its characters in intimate ways. From the start, Trisha and Jennie’s personalities feel strong - one more prudent and careful, the other adventurous, but both caring. Side characters, like Maya and Tara, also have charm… This script features touching, authentic characters and plenty of honest conflict to explore.”
