Nicolas Bazan’s latest project is heading to North America…

Monterey Media has acquired all U.S. and Canada rights for festival hit Of Mind and Music, which is based on the Argentine neuroscientist-turned-author’s novel Una Vida: A Fable of Music and the Mind.

The film chronicles a street musician suffering from memory loss who connects with a disillusioned neuroscientist intent on helping her. The two bring together New Orleans with the Jazz music the city helped create.

Of Mind And Music is directed by Richie Adams from a script Adams co-wrote with Bazan.

It stars Aunjanue Ellis (The Help), Joaquim de Almeida (Desperado), Bill Cobbs (Oz the Great and Powerful), Sharon Lawrence (Grey’s Anatomy) and Ruth Nega (Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.).
