The gossip about Jay's writing:

Writer's on the Storm Competition, 2007
Solid writing and imagination to spare. Insightful character work, dialogue
and locations that feel authentic and an engaging journey.

Cynthia Whitcomb, Screenwriter, (25+ Screenplays Produced) 2006
(RE: Sci-Fi script:) Amazing world you've created. I love the simulacrums. Eden is fabulous, heaven's gates just wonderful. Would look great on film.

Patricia Healy, Entertainment Attorney, 2006
Beautifully, beautifully written. Your characters are very real. A talented write.

American Accolades Screenwriting Competition, 2006
Well written, intelligent, lush descriptions and well-developed, accurately depicted characters, deals with interesting issues of culture/identity and family dynamics.

Bill Johnson, Author (The Story is a Promise) 2005
I've been impressed with your ability to take critique, rewrite and polish scripts, then take them to a higher level. You really understand how to get deep into the raw feelings where relationships breathe and live or suffocate and die.

David Ciminello, Screenwriter. Actor (Features and TV [Seinfeld]) 2005
You are a talented writer.

Scriptapalooza Coverage, 2005
The dialogue is very Woody Allen-esque. Having handed out fewer than a dozen "recommends" in my career, I can confidently say that this script is a "recommend."
