I have writen a true story and want to turn this story into film.This film is about two boys growing up in the turbulant 60s,It's about the time between the October missles and the fall of Saigon,It's about sailing rafts and fighting forest fires and building dreams and the pain of seperation,it's about adventure and daring and bravery,It's about the young life of one of the greatest film makers and explorers of our time,James Cameron and how many of his most famous stories came to be,as told by one who was there,his best childhood friend.Me! It's"Chippawa The James Cameron Story. less
