Ed Silver of ES Agency signs Barbara Bitela
Roseville, California – Award winning and 2006 EVYY Nominee author Barbara Bitela signs with Ed Silver to bring her latest novel Full Moon Morning; A Shanghai Survivor’s Story to screen.
Bitela says, “This is truly an epic adventure story—a tale of how one little boy’s faith ignites as he is snatched from his parents in the middle of WW II Japanese occupied Shanghai. A treatment and much more can be viewed at the web site.”
Prior to his 12 year career as the President of The E S Agency (a literary agency franchised by the WGA), Ed Silver spent 35 years in Beverly Hills as an Entertainment Business Manager. His stellar client list included among others such top tier talent and creators as actors Lee Marvin, Claude Akins, James Coburn, Frederic Forrest, and Robert Blake: music groups and musicians such as Toto and The Tubes, Deke Richards, Marty Paich and David Paich: directors and producers William Castle and Ernest Frankel; Meyer Mishkin and the Mishkin Agency, Inc. and screenwriters Jimmy Sangster and E Arthur Kean.
As a literary agent some notable clients and successes are: Keith Richardson (Secret of the Butterfly Lovers-due out April, 2007 - Red Wheel ,Weiser) ; Jason King (Cannabible, Ten Speed Press); Doni Tamblyn (Laugh and Learn – Amacom; and The Big Book of Humorous Training Games - McGraw-Hill) : John Montgomery - Four works about Hieroglyphics and ancient Mexican civilizations (Hippocrene); Dr. Arthur Janov (The Biology of Love - Prometheus) : Joyce Bueker , (Ayurvedic Balancing - Llewellyn).
Bitela says, “Ed likes the story and knows there are talented young actors out there who could play the lead role of Dieter Ludwig. London based screenwriter Debé Scott, who penned the Bird's Eye script for Lucine Entertainment, (currently in pre-production in California), is working on our screenplay right now. We get a sense that this story represents a wide audience appeal. If you blink you’d swear it’s been taken from today’s headlines. John Ludwig, of whom the story is based, is still alive. He never thought he’d see again what he witnessed back then—but here we are.”

“Barbara Bitela brings to this story her incredible passion for life, faith and love of country. Only the most erudite students of history are familiar with the plight of that small group of German Jews who, after barely escaping death under Hitler’s reign, left for China to again face odds that would defeat all but the most tenacious against the brutal tyranny of the Japanese.
The triumph of the human spirit, of good overcoming evil, of families and friends sticking together against horrific circumstances, of loyalty and betrayal, and of faith being the critical constituent for survival—all are vital components to this timeless and compelling tale of faith and perseverance.” —Richard Botkin
