\nHollywood Ventures Group has optioned Namratha Stanley\u2019s memoir \u201cVineyard Melody\u201d for a film adaptation, with the deal closed during the Cannes Film Festival. <\/p>\n

\n\tHVG co-founder Glenn Gainor has had director conversations in Cannes as the company charts the project\u2019s development path.<\/p>\n

\n\tPublished by Regalo Press, the memoir follows Stanley from a decade-plus of domestic abuse in Bangalore to the vineyards of Bordeaux. The turning point comes when a violent attack by her husband nearly kills both her and her daughter. Stanley boards a plane to France to pursue an MBA, leaving her daughter in her parents\u2019 care while she establishes herself abroad, and eventually builds her own wine label while fighting to bring her daughter out of India to join her.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cUnderstanding her origin story, I realized I was looking at a very powerful woman, a very strong person, a person of conviction and a beautiful moral compass,\u201d Gainor says.<\/p>\n

\n\tGainor built Screen Gems\u2019 physical production department at Sony Pictures, having previously produced three features for Adam Sandler\u2019s Happy Madison label \u2013 \u201cStrange Wilderness,\u201d \u201cGrandma\u2019s Boy,\u201d and \u201cDeuce Bigalow: European Gigolo.\u201d He later oversaw Amazon MGM productions including \u201cBeing the Ricardos,\u201d \u201cThe Tender Bar,\u201d and \u201cRed One,\u201d and received the Social Impact Producer of the Year award at the 2024 Venice Film Festival. He tells Variety<\/em> he sees in the material a quality central to the projects HVG pursues.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI believe her story has a sense of urgency,\u201d Gainor says.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe company has yet to determine whether the project will take shape as a local-language production, an international film, or a platform title, with those decisions to be worked through in partnership with collaborators.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAs a writer, you hope to find partners who truly connect with the core of your narrative,\u201d Stanley says. \u201cWhen Glenn and I first met in Paris, and later traveled to Bordeaux, our conversations cemented the fact that he shared my exact vision for the screen adaptation. Hollywood Ventures Group represents the future of storytelling, and I am incredibly proud to trust them with this project.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHVG was co-founded by Sandy Climan, who serves as chair. Climan, a former Universal Studios executive vice president and founding head of CAA\u2019s corporate practice, produced Martin Scorsese\u2019s \u201cThe Aviator\u201d \u2013 earning a BAFTA and a Golden Globe \u2013 and executive produced digital live-action 3D feature, \u201cU2 3D.\u201d The company\u2019s portfolio spans impact-driven projects alongside commercial IP, including representation of Platinum Universe\u2019s catalog of more than 1,300 comic book characters.<\/p>\n
