On February 17, 1979, 11-year-old Norman Ollestad was the sole survivor of a plane crash that took the lives of his father, his father’s girlfriend, and the pilot of their chartered Cessna. His critically-acclaimed memoir about the ordeal, Crazy for the Storm, was the book of the summer and an instant best-seller, and the film adaptation is already in progress with Warner Bros. An incredible story of survival and a moving account of a father’s love for his son, Crazy for the Storm is one of the studio’s most anticipated new projects.

A single mother of three and a sixth-grade teacher in Reno, Nevada, Tierney Cahill never expected to become politically active–or to have a movie made about her life!

Her book, Ms. Cahill for Congress, is the inspiration for the upcoming film Class Act, starring Halle Berry.
