Reviews
THE DARK SISTERS
"Robert Hensley's riveting 'The Dark Sisters' is impressive, particularly Donovan Knowles' betrayed soldier and the title trio of Sondra Mayer, Renee Mignosa and Dawn Worrall."
- David C. Nichols, LA Times Theatre Beat (Feb. 6, 2004)
TURNING OUT
“Turning Out is a very accomplished script."
- Darin Anthony, Artistic Director, The Blank Theater Co.’s Living Room Series
"There are so many layers and emotions... Turning Out gives us so much to work with, and it's very funny."
- Chane’t Johnson, Director, Living Room Series Reading
LEO'S LOVE STORY
"Buy it for yourself or someone else. It's a great book."
- Alyson Fouse, Writer/Producer (Born Again Virgin, The Wanda Sykes Show)
"Wonderful... You don't know how much it would have changed my life as a closeted boy in Iowa. You have to get that book out to the MidWest somehow. It would help so many struggling kids."
- Ben Caron, Singer/Songwriter
"Leo's Love Story is such a poignant story and so well written. Robert Hensley's gift for creating a world that is magical yet realistic is really amazing. It empowers everyone to face their fears and like Leo, to learn to accept ourselves along the way."
- Jasper Cole, Actor and Radio Show Host (On The Set with Jasper Cole)
"I enjoy writers who unabashedly reveal their inner most experiences, fears and dreams that inevitably allow their readers to relate on some level. Robert accomplishes this most handsomely. The universal human necessity to be loved and accepted is depicted and revealed in a profound way. Of particular mention is the unconditional display of fraternal love and camaraderie. Well done Mr. Hensley."
- Ralph Cole, Jr. , Actor and Radio Show Co-Host (On the Set with Jasper Cole)
"We can all learn from letting go of the 'Luminours' in our lives and embracing the 'Leos' and 'Adams'."
- Michael Taylor Gray, Actor
"Robert Hensley has done a great job bringing these characters and the story to life, and I think it will have readers asking the question Is Love Forever Really Possible. You'll have to read the book and decide for yourself."
- C.A. Webb, Radio Show Host (Midday Conversations)
LOST SPRINGS
"The author has created likable, appealing characters with clear story goals, whom the reader can really root for. When Tommy arrives at the Century City office at the end, the author creates a fun sense of suspense and drama as Tommy has his first encounter with the Hollywood world, especially in his encounter with Vivian Longwell."
- Slamdance Screenwriting Festival Feedback
SHORT ATTENTION SPAN
"Short Attention Span is perfect for cinephiles—those who love movies. From the writer and filmmaker, Robert Hensley, comes a collection of his short screenplays. Each is a unique story, created and polished, but never produced. The idea is to entertain and impact screenwriters and storytellers, so they may write as inspiration comes. The collection of screenplays prove that even just a few pages of a story can entertain and amuse an audience.
To get in the mood for Halloween, read the screenplay 'The Unseen,' in this collection. It is a paranormal thriller with detectives on the hunt for a serial killer. This unique book is a great addition to all cinephiles’ October reading list."

HOMEWRECKER
"raw, graphic, and distinctly creepy 12-minute short film more than worth watching...truly well-done horror."
- Kirk S. Fernwood, OneFilmFan.com
"a delectable short film...I really love that he has gotten to the root of horror films from my youth...it works like a charm."
-Michael Shinafelt, Entertain Me by Michael Shinafelt
"The film possesses a passion and intensity."
-Richard Propes, The Independent Critic
