I want to start off by thanking Lora Snow (in the middle of the picture to the right) for allowing us to set up. Also, all who came out for the book signing and purchased the book "From Out of The Forest" and to enjoy the show (Medicine Woman) played by Betty Rimmey (in the picture to the left) at Ariel Theater. It was a great pleasure meeting you all and allowing us to share with you where the scope of the book "From Out of The Forest will be taken too. As we progress along with the movie "Anna's Violin". I can assure great things to come from this. As I mentioned this book is based off of real life tragedies. Most people asked how "Medicine Woman" had anything to do with the book? The reenactment was from the same error and same location in which the story had taken place in the book. Most of all the characters that were talked about, you will read about in the book.

For all who have purchased the book or who have read the book, please don't forget to sign our guest book on our website (annasviolin.com).

Again, thank you.

Here's the story that ran in today's Messenger:

By SARA BRUMFIELD

STOCKPORT — A novel written by a Morgan County man might be made into a feature film.

William “Yno” Winebrenner of Stockport has written several books over the years, but “Out of the Forest” is the first to garner the attention of filmmakers.

Based on a Clifton, W.Va. legend, the book tells the story of Anna Potts, whose family was torn apart by an attack by Native Americans.

According to Winebrenner, Native Americans visited the Potts’ one year and asked to trade 10 horses for one of the daughters. The parents refused and, a year later, the Native Americans returned with 20 horses. The Potts’ again rejected their offer and the Native Americans attacked the family.

The legend is that the Native Americans raped Anna and her daughters and burned the father’s legs off. The two daughters were then taken by the Native Americans. There’s also a ghost story attached to the legend — supposedly Anna’s ghost leaves the woods each November to ride on her mule to neighboring Native American villages to look for her daughters, then returns to Clifton each May.

Nicole Clevenger of Corporate Solutions Video and Film Productions is the main producer for the upcoming movie based on Winebrenner’s novel. It is being co-produced by Marshall “Dancing Elk” Lucas.

The movie will be titled, “Anna’s Violin.”

Clevenger said she found Winebrenner’s story to be an interesting one. She said the book will be adapted into a feature epic film.

She said the script for the movie is almost complete and then investors will be sought. According to Clevenger, some have already expressed interest in investing in the project.

According to Clevenger, the film will be shot at locations in West Virginia, Ohio and Virginia. She said she hopes production of the movie will be under way in 2012.

In the meantime, Winebrenner has been doing book signings to get the public more familiar with the story.

Winebrenner said his book can be purchased at Lasting Impression, located inside ACEnet on Columbus Road.
