Garrett Basch’s Dive Wins Rights To Develop Anthony Veasna So’s ‘Afterparties’ For TV; Lauren Yee To Produce
EXCLUSIVE: In competition, Garrett Basch’s new company Dive has won the television rights to Afterparties, the collection of stories by Anthony Veasna So that became an instant bestseller when it was published last year by HarperCollins. The intention is to turn it into a half hour series, “a naturalistic comedy with heart,” based on the characters and anecdotes written by So about the lives of Cambodian-Americans. Lauren Yee will produce. The author, the con of former Cambodian-American refugees, died before the book was published.
