The inception of OptionAvenue unfolded not within the confines of a glitzy Hollywood office but during the simple, cherished moments of bedtime stories between a father and his children…

David Levine Bramante, renowned for his marketing acumen and a deep love for storytelling, often found more joy in reading to his five children than watching TV. Each night, he brought stories to life with different voices and sound effects, immersing them in imaginative worlds. Despite his love for children’s narratives, David often wished to delve into script-style stories, where knowing each character’s voice in advance could enrich the reading experience.

As David was continually discovering new books that were not on film or TV yet, and often wondered how he could adapt the works. In late 2023, one of David’s close friends, an independent executive producer, was deeply entrenched in the complexities of securing book options for a real estate crime thriller with major networks like Netflix, Amazon, and HBO. Their numerous discussions about books, movie adaptations, and favorite films sparked a realization in David: the process of book optioning was shrouded in opacity, making it challenging for innovative producers to connect directly with authors.

Recognizing a clear opportunity to illuminate this shadowy process, David and his wife Kayla, a skilled tech entrepreneur with a history of successful ventures, co-founded OptionAvenue.com. Their goal was simple yet ambitious: to transform the landscape of book-to-screen adaptations. By leveraging their combined expertise in technology and marketing, they aimed to create a platform that would democratize access to the entertainment industry, ensuring that great stories found their way into the hands of those who could bring them to life on screen.

OptionAvenue.com emerged as a beacon for storytellers, symbolizing David and Kayla’s commitment to innovation and their belief that every narrative holds the potential to captivate and inspire. This platform is not merely a marketplace but a gateway for authors to showcase their creativity and for producers to discover unique, compelling stories deserving of adaptation.
