I am EXTREMELY DELIGHTED -- like, OVER THE MOON -- to announce that @thehikarism will direct the 'Eleanor & Park' film being produced by @picturestart and Plan B Entertainment.
. @thehikarism wrote and directed one of my favorite movies from last year -- '37 Seconds' -- which you can watch on Netflix all over the world, I think. It is a BEAUTIFUL and BEAUTIFULLY HUMAN film. https://www.netflix.com/title/81062369
Of all my characters, I always feel most protective of Park and Eleanor. They feel vulnerable to me. Like, their hearts are just right there, exposed.
@thehikarism is such a compassionate and open-hearted filmmaker. And she's already so loving and kind to the characters.

The whole team at @picturestart and Plan B has been so thoughtful. Christina Oh, one of the producers at Plan B, CAME TO OMAHA to see where Eleanor and Park live, and to work with me on the script.
WHEN SOMEONE COMES TO OMAHA FOR YOU, YOU KNOW THEY'RE FOR REAL.
