Vineyard Melody

Vineyard Melody is a feature film in development at Hollywood Ventures Group, based on Namratha Stanley's memoir published by Regalo Press. The project was optioned during the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, with HVG co-founder Glenn Gainor conducting early director conversations as the company charts its development path. The story follows Stanley's decade-long struggle with domestic violence in Bangalore, India, through a turning point when a violent attack nearly kills both her and her daughter. She boards a plane to France to pursue an MBA in wine marketing, leaving her daughter temporarily with her parents while she establishes herself abroad. The narrative traces her journey building a wine label in Bordeaux while fighting to reunite with her daughter. HVG co-founder Sandy Climan serves as chair of the company, which is headquartered at Television City in Los Angeles and focuses on global content creation.
