RISING STAR AWARD

“The whole thing is just fantastic. It’s a fresh take on woman and relationships and one that is expertly directed by Marnie Paxton’s sharp eye for detail. Right on down to the jokes that permeate every single scene. April Kelley is an actress I look forward to seeing more and now that we’re official besties that should happen.”FilmSnobReviews

“Marnie Paxton directs “Annie Waits” with a savvy style that confidently hits every note, bringing Chris Anastasi’s script into a vivacious existence. In all, “Annie Waits” tells a wry story that makes you care about how Annie moves forward.” – Eclectic Pop  

“Annie Waits is funny, lively and it’s relentlessly pleasurable to watch a young, free-spirited and headstrong Brit take the lead. The whole film is modern with quick cuts, vibrant colour, style and that classic London romance setting.” – Film Carnage

“Annie Waits is refreshing in its perspective, not to the females out there who will be nodding their head in agreement, but to the audience who finally get to see that not all women are fighting to catch the bridal bouquet.” – Mulderville

“The script shows a strong taste for great situational humour as it explores the, at times, vicious circle of dating. The direction complements the material perfectly, and April Kelley shows she has a bright future ahead of her with a subtle but amusing performance.” – Silver Screen Analysis

“It’s very modern and humorous, and Kelley is delightful, definitely a face to look out for.” – Wild Fire
