OptionAvenue x CinemaMachina: Bringing Books to Life on Screen

At OptionAvenue, we specialize in book-to-film adaptations, helping authors showcase their stories to Hollywood producers and studios. Through our exclusive partnership with CinemaMachina, we produce high-quality Spec Films—cinematic proof-of-concept projects designed to demonstrate a book’s screen potential.

Unlike traditional adaptation deals, authors retain full rights to their IP until a production company officially acquires their work. Our process ensures that each Spec Film remains true to the author’s vision while crafting a compelling pitch that captures the attention of producers, directors, and studios.

With cutting-edge AI technology and expert production, OptionAvenue and CinemaMachina create visually stunning concept films that make your story impossible to ignore in Hollywood.
