Producer Wernher Pramschufer from Attractive Films will be attending the AFM in November, pitching the new Tolkien & Lewis screenplay by Jacqueline Cook.
The film will portray the astonishing and deeply moving story of long-time friends J.R.R Tolkien and C.S. Lewis battle their personal demons to become the world's foremost fantasy authors.
Filmmakers, producers, directors and writers from around the world come to AFM to gain exposure, discover new projects and make deals. Each year, nearly one billion dollars in deals are sealed at AFM on both completed films and those in every stage of development and production.
Attractive Films are a new Anglo-Australian film Production Company developing an exciting slate of film projects, including The Enemy Within - a compelling and disturbing story of the disintegration of a German settled Australian town and the country's cruelest POW camp in WW1.
Executive Producer Leo Cooper and lawyer Paul Renney (who worked on The Kings Speech) are partners with Wernher Pramschufer in Attractive Films. The trio is focused on making producing intelligent and exciting independent films that will appeal and resonate with audiences across the globe.
AFM will be the culmination of two years work in development, with Attractive Films lead project Tolkien & Lewis already gaining strong interest from producers and financiers in London with discussions underway to ink in the production team.
The company will also be represented at the Film Finance Forum in Zurich late September, networking with film financiers and producers to progress the slate and cement new international connections.
