Dad

May Texas’ strong prevailing winds sweep you north to your favorite campground
Waiting, wrapped in peace and anticipation, for your lifelong love to join you

As sadness rips through us and consolation is momentary and fleeting
We remember you with love — your teasing, your laughter, your deep insights

We wish all could be different…
But no amount of wishing can change the hole in our hearts

That last instant glancing back at you
The sadness across time and space
All of us understanding it was a final moment together

With time the hurt will recede
Replaced with floods of fondest memories

Husband, Dad, Grandpa, Great-Grandpa…

Know that your sense of adventure and incredible ability to conquer the world
Thrives in your family and legacy

Jazlyn’s Sight and Stage 32 Look Book

 

Congratulations on Your Inclusion in the November 2022 Lookbook!

From my reader:

“This was an entertaining and tightly-structured pilot episode that immediately hooks you on its premise, endears you to the ensemble dynamics, and leaves you intrigued to see how things are going to unfold moving forward. It’s a familiar concept that’s executed to a high standard in terms of dramatic progression, plot dynamics and character appeal. It builds and relieves tension across a measured series of peaks and troughs that maintain a balanced pace and tone. Really just well crafted.

There’s a lot of potential to develop this project into either a limited series with character-driven, overarching story arcs, or a simple procedural, “mystery/villain of the week” show with static ensemble dynamics.

Where the project really shines is in its absorbing setting. The world of New Orleans is depicted with a specificity and interconnectivity that makes the city feel alive on the page. The wide scope of locations that branch off from the main hub of Jazlyn’s office kept things engaging.

There’s plenty of effective call backs, gleaming details and dynamic subplots that make this a page turner. Most importantly, the script endears us to the protagonist and achieves a sense of hope and fear for her journey.”
