The co-production arrangement will kick off with the production in Winter 2005 of "The Wonder Child", a biopic on Nannerl Mozart, the musically gifted sister of Amadeus Mozart. "The Wonder Child" will be the first of a trilogy of biopics on three female musical Wunderkinder of the early 19th century. The "Wunderkind Trilogy" will include films on Clara Schumann (wife of Robert Schumann) and Fanny Mendelssohn (sister of Felix Mendelssohn). The award-winning screenplays for "The Wonder Child" and "Clara" were written by USA screenwriters Anthony Zaccaro and Miriam Queensen.
Other award-winning screenplays in the BUZZMEDIA NETWORK pipeline to be co-produced by Ventus include screenplays on 18th century Italian artist "Caravaggio" by US screenwriter Ken Mora, and a biopic on infamous Restoration poet Lord Rochester by US screenwriter James T. Frazier. Ventus will handle the co-production and investment structure for the upcoming projects.
