Red Willow's Quest: The Movie?
Some discussions have taken place about making a movie of Red Willow's
Quest. Heidi has drafted a movie script of the book.
An actress, who is part Native American, is starting her own film company
in Canada and is interested in playing the lead role and producing Red
Willow's Quest. The writer and producer of a popular film in movie theaters
a while back has also indicated an interest is helping with the movie.
But movies are much more of a collaboration than writing a book, so you
never know what the future holds! But I wouldn't be surprised if Red Willow
reaches the big screen one day. Stay tuned for updates.
