'Gangs of London' producer Pulse Films has acquired the rights to Laura Dockrill's memoir 'What Have I Done?' and is planning a genre-defying TV adaptation. Details:
filmmaker Gareth Evans now screening on ad-free streaming service AMC+ in the U.S. after having premiered on Sky in the U.K. earlier this year, Pulse Films has lined up another, rather different, scripted series., the acclaimed memoir by British performance poet and author Laura Dockrill, and is planning a"genre-defying scripted adaptation." Dockrill is on board to write the project.
"Written from the frontline of mental illness, this heart-breaking and uplifting memoir is about resilience, love and finding your way to the other side," according to a description. Adele, a close friend of Dockrill’s, describes the memoir as"a book to save a whole generation of women." Dockrill could not wait to meet her new baby, but as she went into labor, things began to go wrong and she started to struggle. A traumatic birth, anxiety about the baby, sleep deprivation, a slow recovery — all these things piled up until Dockrill, like any new mum, felt overwhelmed. Despite this grueling experience, her story is a hopeful one. Not only has she gotten better, she has come out on the other side stronger and more assured.
"Revisiting my experience of postpartum psychosis is not something I can get wrong, I value my recovery so much. I seeas precious cargo! Writing the book saved my life. So, if I was going to retell the trauma for screen I had to collaborate with an indestructible team that were willing to push storytelling to the limits, without boundaries or compromise," said Dockrill.
"A team that were unapologetic, tenacious, courageous and ambitious. With guts. And motivated by their hearts. A team that would ride down this mystifying road with me - ugly monsters and all. That are going to take the leap. My story, as scary as it is, is ultimately a human-being story- it is a story of true love. And that’s what Pulse Films are all about; truth and love. And that is what is needed to conceive something that people can believe in.
