Development Pitch
Jerusalem Stone would make a visually stunning movie. It moves from the beaches of Thailand to various spots in Israel, ending at The Western Wall. This would make a good TV film in both the United States and Israel. The themes are universal, dealing with loss, survivor's guilt, finding faith and ultimately, finding your beshert--soul mate. This book won first place in the Inspirational Category of the I Heart Indie Contest. This will appeal to woman who enjoy the Hallmark channel.
