Ivan and Beth Hodge.
In 1961 New Zealand couple Beth and Ivan Hodge set off in their newly acquired Vw Beetle on an extended honeymoon, driving from London to Calcutta.
In 1996 the couple, who moved to Australia in the 1960s, embarked on that same journey in that same car, this time ending in Mumbai.
That’s the inspiration for The Road Less Travelled, the first Australian script to emerge from Imagine Entertainment’s inaugural global content accelerator in Hollywood in late 2018.
Faraway Films Entertainment’s Steve Turnbull and Lynda Heys, who met the Hodges – Beth is a retired teacher and Ivan is a former insurance executive – at a film screening in 2015, wrote the screenplay and Heys will direct, her feature directing debut.
The duo optioned Beth and Ivan’s life rights and then spent two years interviewing the Hodges and their family and sifting through their archival material including photos, diaries and audio tape.
