My name is John Hamilton, and I am the author of the published novel It Happened on Allagash Lake. I am seeking a partnership to adapt the story into a feature film and believe it aligns well with Zero Gravity Management’s reputation for championing strong, character-driven IP.
About the Story:
It Happened on Allagash Lake is a survival-thriller set in the remote Maine wilderness. When a seasoned woodsman’s quiet retreat collides with a federal manhunt, he must summon his survival skills and haunted past to protect those he loves and confront the government forces closing in. The novel blends action, suspense, and layered character drama — best described as The Revenant meets Wind River.
Key Details:
• The novel is published and film/TV rights are fully available.
• I am seeking a contingency-based partnership (no upfront cost):
o Shopping Agreement – granting the right to pitch the project to buyers for a fixed time.
o Backend Participation – shared compensation if the project is optioned or produced.
• I have a logline, synopsis, and pitch package ready for your review.
I believe this project could make a compelling addition to your slate, and I would be honored to discuss it further. Please let me know if you would be open to reviewing the pitch materials.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards,
John Hamilton
