Reply to comment by Nanooktoo in The amazing life of Julia Rivet. by creemetismami

The family had always entertained the idea of her story being brought to the big screen. (I'm a descendant of her adopted son, Peter)

I wouldn't even know where to begin pitching the idea, so if anyone reading this has any tips on how to make this happen, please feel free to contact me :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading!

Edit: pun 10/10

I'd contact authors first. You could probably reach one through their agent? Her story certainly requires absolutely no embellishment, it's allll there. Maybe research writers known portraying historical characters with accuracy while retaining the ability to make the story live .

Maybe try your local screenwriters guild as well?

Do some IMDBing of films or mini series that you thought did a good job of portraying historical stories and look up the screenwriter(s)?
