Review Quotes:
"Reading Dream of Writing: An Original Screenplay, it is clear that Gregory Fischer truly loves cinema. Throughout the script, there are many references to classic works like Citizen Kane and E.T., as well as an understanding of how the moviemaking machine works . . . The writing is pleasantly descriptive, making this flow as nicely as a novel would, and the multiple inserts of songs that would play during the actual film add a nice touch." - Nicolò Grasso, Reedsy Discovery
"What makes this screenplay especially impactful is Fischer's use of symbolism and imagery, which evoke a visceral sense of dread and introspection. The recurring voodoo motifs, the glowing box, and the dream scenes are metaphors for the toll of obsession on the artist. The screenplay's effective use of tension, combined with its poetic language and mystical symbolism, will immerse you in Ramen's psychological torment." - Matthew Novak, The Book Commentary
