I Accidentally Wrote A Book
The young adult, family film titled I Accidentally Wrote a Book portrays the magic of writing with unique visual elements through the personal story of a 12-year-old girl. The film depicts how writing can help get someone through their most difficult times. The script was based on a book written by Annet Huizing, which is a true international success story that was published in more than ten countries and has won numerous literary awards. The film is JUNO11’s first green production.
Nina is 12 years old and her main ambition is to become a writer; she inherited her creative talent from her animation filmmaker father. Her everyday life is shaken up by her clumsy magician brother, and since her mother died early, the female role model in the family is her somewhat stiff aunt. When a new love comes into her father’s life, Nina follows the guidance of a bohemian writer next door and uses writing to process the loss of her mother and open her heart to a new family member and first love.
The family film I Accidentally Wrote A Book is written and directed by Nóra Lakos, produced by Claudia Sümeghy and Tamás Topolánszky Yvan (JUNO11) and Nóra Lakos, co-produced by Maaike Neve and Joram Willink (BIND) from the Netherlands.
