CNN Anchor Alisyn Camerota’s Memoir to Be Adapted for Screen By ‘Jagged Little Pill’ Producers TEG+ (EXCLUSIVE)

As a movie lover with a deep appreciation for stories that delve into the complexities of human experiences, I am thrilled to hear that CNN anchor and correspondent Alisyn Camerota’s memoir “Combat Love: A Story of Leaving, Longing and Searching for Home” is being developed for film and TV. The fact that it’s being brought to life by Tiwary Entertainment Group, the brilliant minds behind Broadway musicals like Alanis Morissette’s “Jagged Little Pill” and Green Day’s “American Idiot,” adds an extra layer of excitement to this project.


In my experience as a movie reviewer, I’ve had the pleasure of reading Alisyn Camerota’s memoir “Combat Love: A Story of Leaving, Longing and Searching for Home.” This compelling narrative is now being brought to life on the big and small screens by Tiwary Entertainment Group. As the masterminds behind successful Broadway musicals like Alanis Morissette’s “Jagged Little Pill” and Green Day’s “American Idiot,” they have a proven track record of transforming powerful stories into captivating productions. I, for one, am eagerly anticipating this cinematic adaptation of Camerota’s heartfelt journey.

In the 1980s, Camerota’s memoir takes us through her teenage experiences in the lively music cultures of the Jersey Shore and New York City. She recounts her antics backstage with punk groups such as the Ramones, and her attempts to break into the local band scene favorite, Shrapnel.

“Camerota’s memoir ‘Combat Love’ explores the complexities of her strained relationship with her mother. At the age of sixteen, she chose to leave home, and later in the book, she chronicles her journey towards building a career as a TV journalist.”

Camerota, with three decades of journalism experience, boasts an impressive collection of accolades. Among them are two Emmy Awards – one for her reporting on George Floyd’s death and another for the arrest of Roger Stone. Additionally, she has been honored with the Edward R. Murrow Award for her exceptional breaking news coverage during Hurricane Maria’s devastation in Puerto Rico. Furthermore, Camerota has received a duPont-Columbia Award for her compelling reporting on Jamal Khashoggi’s murder.

Vivek J. Tiwary, TEG+ founder, and Jack Leslie, co-president of film and television for the company, will spearhead the development of the project.

When I encountered Vivek and Jack for the first time, I instantly felt a strong connection through our shared love for music. I had complete faith in their abilities to handle my personal story with care and understanding. They truly grasp the captivating, risky, and vital influence of music. I consider myself fortunate to be involved in their artistic endeavors.

As a passionate film enthusiast, I’d put it this way: I’m fortunate to be represented by the talented team at Europa Content, led by Marc Gerald. They’re my go-to people in the industry. Similarly, Lawrence Kopeikin from Kopeikin Law takes care of business for TEG+. And when it comes to publishing my work, Rare Bird Lit is the place – they’ve brought “Combat Love” into existence.
