Guest guest Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 This sounds fairly interesting, Bowen Revolution Studios has acquired the rights to Portia Iverson's yet-to-be-published novel " Strange Son " for to produce and potentially topline (star in). will adapt the nonfiction tale through her Red Om Films production shingle with partner Deborah Schindler producing. Novel revolves around the true story of two mothers -- one who lives in a mansion in Los Angeles, the other in a one bedroom flat without running water in Bangalore, India -- who unite in a tireless search to find help for their severely autistic sons. During their quest they make breakthrough discoveries that outpace the latest medical reseach and challenge the prevailing theories about autism. Riverhead Books will publish " Strange Son " sometime next year. Revolution partner Elaine Goldsmith- brought the project into the studio and will produce with Schindler as well as studio partner Tom Sherak. Iverson is one of the founders of Cure Autism Now, a nonprofit made up of parents and scientists dedicated to funding research for the treatment and cure of autism. She founded the org with husband and producer Jon Shestack ( " Air Force One " ); they are the parents of three children, one of whom has autism.
