The Tammi Terrell Biopic Project is in development...

How it all came about....

While Ludie had written her memoirs of Tammi in what we began  referring to as "the diary,"   the diary was the blue print for Tammi's story.  Ludie and I progressed very nicely as a writing team to add more to it and make it a deeper more spiritual piece of work which became the book. Our friendship developed into a good partnership and it was all about Tammi for both of us. I began pitching the idea of a Tammi movie to some of my industry colleagues, one particular person I really respected asked me to keep her posted with our progress. Once I had a good idea of how the story was going to be told and how we were unfolding with the interviews, I gave my friend a synopsis of the script and I made a photo presentation to go along with it.  My friend passed on the info to a major talent who I believe could portray Tammi....so I thought why not seek to go in

that door...so we did, and it opened. We were asked by a major talent's agent to develope the script. I immediately called my friend Sylvia Jahshan who was mentored under Jim Cash and over a one year period, (the same year Ludie and I  were writing Tammi) Sylvia and I wrote the script and Ludie helped us to develope it. It was a magical time when Sylvia and I flew to Philly shortly before the book's release and did a script table read with Ludie. By the time the book was out, Hollywood was knocking for us and our script has since been optioned twice and once by Mr. Paul Justman who made some great progress for the project. Tammi is making her way, baby steps.
