I’m thinking about expanding Katydid into either a novella, a novel, or a series of novels (or novellas).
The secret project name and working title is “Lucky”. (the series subtitle might be “When I Was Eight”)
If I ever make the story into an independent (short) film, I will have to decide whether to use the original screenplay, from which the extended adaptation was created, or extend the screenplay from the novelette into a longer short film, or perhaps even a feature-length film. (the latter would be particularly cool)
If I could make the feature-length film right now, I would choose young actress Millie Bobby Brown to play Katy. She did a ridiculously nice job on the TV series “Intruders”. She’s got a nice acting career ahead of her. (but, unfortunately, even if we started on the film right now, she would probably end up being too old) The young actress Johnny Sequoyah from the TV series “Believe” would also do a good job of being Katy.
