Excerpt from a Black List evaluation:
TIGHTER immerses the reader/audience in a specific and compelling environment. The writer has shone a light on a unique community, one ripe with opportunity for drama and for a genre twist. In that sense, they’ve presented a clear, marketable film, one that has not been made before. This is something that one could see Hollywood genre buyers getting excited about. Vi makes a strong protagonist, and certainly offers an exciting role for an actress. […] There are a number of great action set pieces, and the infusion of Japanese lore into the script further creates originality and texture. The writer has taken the often-lampooned wellness community idea and flipped it, focusing on a very controversial, challenging element within new age-y practices.
