Our screenplay is a family novel in war drama genre.
It's an adaptation of Arrivederci Leopolis by George Perantoni and Sam Ivey (Amazon 2011).
Its
style is upbeat as much as possible, by not indulging too much in the horrors of the war, while still alluding
to the atrocities happening. It's not a film to shock
or terrify. Instead, it's a story presenting uncommon historical facts, even unveiling some, and staged
to provide history and entertainment at the same time. It's
neither a documentary story nor a re-enactment, but a captivating novel loaded with fascinating originality. Our exceptional
screenplay can reach the common interests of diverse audiences in Europe, U.S.A, Canada,
Australia, and others drawn to the riveting history of WWII in Europe. The script’s
extraordinary storyline ought to attract large international audiences --
in view of the screenplay's... ... seven thought-provoking
controversial subjects.
