Brian Bossetta

Brian Bossetta is a native of New Orleans, a die-hard Saints fan, a frequent consumer of classical music, jazz, dark beer and Scotch — a photographer, a woefully average guitar player, avid runner, dog lover and eternally struggling writer still trying to determine if writing the great American novel is even possible.

The writer has a distinctive voice and writes a very recognisable character in Justin Sole. The script has a good pace, and is an easy read.

The flashbacks jumping around i time keep you on your toes. I would recommend another sweep for repeated dialogue and typos, and even though it is true to this genre, it would be refreshing to see some female characters that don't just want to sleep with Justin included.

The opening description is engaging but feels a bit like prose before moving to be more cinematic. Some effective subtext in the kitchen scene.

Great voice and and enjoyed the writing. Was hoping for a bit more of a powerful climax and result of Nina's death as I felt Justin Sole was built up so well. I agree with another commenter that other types of female characters are needed. Overall, i really enjoyed this and it was witty and clever.
