ENDORSEMENTS OF ‘CRACKS IN THE ICE’

“Such a powerful and disturbing story.  So brutal, heartless and upsetting.  But a great story and one certainly worth telling.”
Mark W. Travis, Los Angeles director of ‘Family Ties’.

“It’s really powerful!  Well researched too.  Jango is a particularly good character. When he’s off screen, I want him back on again.  The US political connections are nicely slipped in.  Action sequences are good, working well.”
Guy Meredith, Writer ‘Heartbeat’, ‘The Bill’

“As an international multi-award winning writer supported solely through my efforts in the screen industry, I am acutely aware that when my script or treatment lands on the desk of a funding body or investor it has but one shot.  Therefore, to give it the best possible chance, I pass it through the filter of insightfulness, creativity and keen intelligence that is Fiona Ashe. Without reserve, I recommend her to any position where her formidable talents in script editing and analysis can be called upon.”
Declan Cassidy, writer/director of Whatever Turns You On.
