TRAVEL BLOG!

Lights, Camera, Forgotten Fire! (due Friday: 2.21.14) Adam Bagdasarian (the author of Forgotten Fire and

Vahan’s great nephew) has chosen you to produce the film adaptation of Forgotten Fire!

In your pitch to the movie studios (aka travel blog) you need to include the title of your film (must be different than the book’s title), where you will film the movie (which will be the location of the travel blog), which actors will play the different characters (choose at least five characters to cast), who will be the director, and an explanation of what genre the movie will be.

Remember, this is a movie pitch so be persuasive!
