FILM RIGHTS TO POSSESS HAVE SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!

August 2, 2012
Film rights Gretchen McNeil's POSSESS, in which a teen exorcist must find a way to stop the wave of demonic possessions sweeping her town, to Sebastian Aloi's La Lune Entertainment and Carly Norris, by Holly Frederick at Curtis Brown.

I'm really over the moon on this one.  Sebastian and Carly adore POSSESS and have a love for horror movies.  And even though I'm more realistic than anyone about the odds of the project actually going somewhere, the fact that total strangers love my project so much they're willing to go to bat for it...  Well, is there anything else you can ask for as an artist?

I think not.

Huge thanks to my film rights agent Holly Frederick and her assistant Kerry D'Agostino at Curtis Brown have worked tirelessly on this project and I owe them a huge debt of gratitude.  Not to mention my amazing literary agent Ginger Clark. :)

Remember, everyone: it takes a village.
