Red Cedar Films has optioned Ivan E. Coyote’s breathtaking and bestselling first novel “Bow Grip” for a big screen adaptation. Producer Henrik Meyer and publisher Arsenal Pulp Press have signed an extensive option agreement with the support of The Harold Greenberg Fund. In addition, Telefilm Canada has already funded the treatment phase of the development. Michael St. John Smith is attached as the screenwriter of this tale about loneliness, love, the modern family, and a man who is transformed to embrace them all:
When his beloved wife unexpectedly leaves him for another woman, a childless 40something small-town car mechanic begins to question himself and his entire existence. Choosing to follow his deeper impulses for the first time in his life, Joey Cooper unexpectedly acquires an exquisite cello and travels to the big city where he embarks on a journey of self-discovery and personal redemption.

I am a Canadian television and film producer based in Vancouver, British Columbia, and also working out of Calgary, Alberta. My roots are in Germany where I also spent most of my career and produced most of my films before I immigrated to Canada in 2004. Thanks to my background, most of my producing partners are European and especially German. I am creatively developing television and film projects with Canadian talent in English language as well as service producing German language projects in Canada. In addition, I have a development deal for Canadian-German projects with Berlin-based Polyphon International.
Knowing both sides of the Atlantic and living on the Pacific Coast, I consider my main job building a bridge between Europe and Canada, helping projects as well as colleagues finding their way through the Canadian wilderness and bureaucracy.
