Passionate About Survival


Reasons To Survive


Hollywood Producers Brad Littlefield and Anne Marie Gillen are working with famous celebrity film star Meiyang Chang, who has lent his support in providing outreach to the Hakka Community both in India and across the world in order to bring to the screen the cross-cultural novel One Amazing Thing written by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, award-winning author, poet and teacher who was born in Kolkata, India.

Set in present day San Francisco, the novel follows the stories of nine strangers brought together by a unforeseen disaster.As each person shares their story, they find comfort in the face of adversity.  A large part of the screenplay centers on a faithful depiction of  the experiences from the perspective of an Indo-Chinese family and the impact the Sino-Indian conflict of 1962 has upon them and future generations.

The Producers have adapted the book to screenplay format to make a feature film and are currently in the process of attaching star-level director and actors.

One of the largest talent and literary agencies in the world with offices in Hollywood and Mumbai, is involved in talent identification and assisting in securing the director.  The Producers have also garnered the support of many successful organizations including Indian film companies and production finance entities.

Currently the Producers are seeking powerful and influential community members whose lives may have been impacted by these events and wish to see this important story brought to life in order to bring this significant issue onto the world stage.
 
Those who feel strongly this story needs to be told and want to assist the production, are invited to contact the producers for more information at:  brad.littlefield@gmail.com
