Ottawa writer Joanne Proulx has two novels published and both seem destined for North American screens, big and small.
Toronto-based Artemis Pictures has picked up an option on Proulx’s latest novel We All Love the Beautiful Girls which was published last year, with an eye on turning it into a television series.
The novel is set in Ottawa and involves three families involved in a bitter feud
Artemis is a partnership between Barbara Willis Sweete, a founding partner of Rhombus Media, TV executive, Joan Jenkinson and business woman Susanne Ritzau.
Proulx’s first novel Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet has been turned into a feature film starring Cameron Monaghan, Peyton List and Juliette Lewis. It is in post-production and will be released soon.
