Zoë Foster Blake’s THINGS WILL CALM DOWN SOON optioned for television by Made Up Stories – Made Up Stories, the award-winning global film and TV production company led by Bruna Papandrea (Nine Perfect Strangers, Pieces of Her, The Undoing) today announced the option of Australian author and founder Zoë Foster Blake’s new novel THINGS WILL CALM DOWN SOON about modern entrepreneurship, family, business and motherhood.
An instant bestseller, THINGS WILL CALM DOWN SOON is a vibrant, candid look at what it means to be “successful” in today’s world, riddled with real life business advice and reassurance while providing a genuinely entertaining read.
At 30, A-list hairstylist Kit Cooper is undeniably successful, yet she remains restless. When she decides to launch her own product, we go with her as she builds a brand, team and multimillion-dollar business while single parenting, managing an unreliable partner and a dysfunctional wider family, and far too many school WhatsApp messages. When Kit finds herself in the alien world of investors, suits and mergers and acquisitions her relentless anxiety, imposter syndrome and head-spinning busyness begs the question: will things ever calm down?
Papandrea, Steve Hutensky and Katie Amos will executive produce for Made Up Stories. Foster Blake will also serve as executive producer and is repped by Tara Wynne at Curtis Brown in Australia and Kristyn Keene Benton at CAA.
Papandrea said,
“As a female founder, a mother and a lover of books I knew immediately I had to bring Zoe’s brilliant complex and aspirational book to life as a US set TV series. I continue to be inspired to make super fun things I desperately want to see, and the world needs to meet Kit, a woman who reminds me of so many kickass women I know.”
Zoe Foster Blake said,
“Bruna is a passionate and proven champion of Australian female authors and their work, and I couldn’t think of anyone more suited or more formidable than Made Up Stories to bring to life the characters and world of THINGS WILL CALM DOWN SOON. I’m delighted; I’m excited.”
