Amy Huberman has finally finished writing her first script for the movie Bolt, and is now starting to pitch the film to potential directors.
The actress is said to be delighted to finally be finished the script, but admitted that the writing process involved massive amounts of stress.
“We have put so much energy and resources into it, but it’s been fun – as well as a massive amount of stress,” she said.

“I have started the new year with auditions and writing, because we really want to bring Bolt to the next level,” she told the Herald.
The film is based on her novel, I Wished For You, released in 2012 which follows the story of a young woman who leaves her long-term partner and runs away from her responsibilities.
Amy has been confirmed to play the lead role of Grace, while the film is being produced by Irish production company Treasure Entertainment – the same company that made Irish comedy The Stag back in 2013.
“We’ve been through a couple of drafts, so we are just at the point now where we are going out to directors. Very soon we will be going out to the market,” said producer Rebecca O’Flanagan.

In terms of the movie’s story, Amy expressed how important it was to write something that she really loved and playing the lead role is an added bonus.
“You might be going for stuff that you don’t necessarily love, so having an outlet to be able to write what you like is great and such an exciting part of the process.
“We move to the next stage now. I’m really excited, as these things always take longer than you envisage,” she explained.
