Clarence Hammond's romantic short story "Summer Session" is in development as a microdrama and a feature film. Deadline reported that "microdrama veteran Kristen Brancaccio will direct both versions, and develop the story in vertical format, with Hammond adapting the script for the movie. Plot details are under wraps for the moment."
Hammond will produce alongside Ancora Entertainment's Maria Frisk and Michael Napoliello, Artists First's Katie Zipkin-Leed, and Select Management Group's Matt Shepley.
"I'm thrilled to be bringing Clarence's beautiful world of Summer Session to life for both traditional and digital audiences," said Brancaccio. "I'm passionate about the unique storytelling possibilities within the rapidly-evolving vertical format and am excited that Maria and Michael at Ancora share that vision. Matt and Katie have been on the forefront of bridging the gap between vertical and legacy entertainment, so having them on the team is the perfect fit."
