Hello,
Cy Vaughn here, Thank you for your interest in Depot Dora. I spent 4 years doing research on this story, beginning with my visit to the salt mine in the village of Altaussee, Austria, talking to mine officials, miners and villagers learning about one of the most exciting missions in WWII: Operation Ebcnsburg.
Depot Dora is based on the true story of an Austrian patriot, facing a Nazi firing squad, who escapes and returns to his native village as a covert agent to save the Mona Lisa from destruction.
I used that last sentence as a logline to pitch the novel to Hollywood movie producers. They asked for more.
I signed an agreement with Voyage Media Hollywood to work with producers and a professional screenwriter to adapt the novel into a movie script.
Nothing is certain in Hollywood but we have a shot to produce a movie with a story that I think you would enjoy.
