'“Many writers dream of having their work adapted into film”, especially if the project is undertaken by an acclaimed director they admire and respect.

Not long after we spoke to author Peter Papathanasiou about the publication of his first book, a memoir entitled Little One (published by Allen & Unwin), we are informed that his book is about to take off on another journey. Screen Canberra has given the green light for the story to be developed into a film or TV series that will be directed by award-winning film director Peter Andrikidis.' (Introduction)
