If the screenplay for DOUBLE EXPOSURE falls flat, Michael Lister will have no one to blame but himself.
As part of the deal for his novel, Michael has agreed to co-write the screenplay with director/producer Jason Hreno.
Hreno is a trilingual (English, French and Spanish) Canadian writer-director, has worked internationally on telefilms, documentaries and shorts. This will be his first, full-length feature film.
Michael is excited to bring his characters to the big screen: I’ve adapted other novels and written original spec scripts, but this is the first time I’ll be adapting one of my own novels. I’m really enjoying the process. It’s a very cool exercise to revisit and reimagining the material. It’s such a different medium, art form, it’s an entirely different creative process.
In D E, a wildlife photographer finds his camera traps have captured a murder. Unfortunately, the killers want the footage and pursue the photographer through the sweeps and woods of the Apalachicola River Basin in Northern Florida.
DE is a hell of a good book and has received oodles of praise as well as having won the Florida Book Award for 2010. Lister does a great job of using the steamy, dangerous environmental of his home state to build suspense and create atmosphere.
