CARDBOARD

Verve out with SINCERELY SAMANTHA SMITH by Joe Ballarini. The incredible, inspiring true story of a 10 year-old girl who prevented World War 3.
In 1982, at the peak of the Nuclear Arms hysteria between the US and Soviets, shy, quiet 10 year-old Samantha Smith shot to world-wide fame when she became pen pals with the Soviet leader who invited her and her family to Russia to discuss peace talks between the super powers.

Ballarini is set to pen the Fox animated project.

Logline: A poor widower gives his son a disappointing birthday present- a cardboard box. Together, the duo turns the box into a boxer named Bill that ends up coming to life.
