M & N which won the Panasonic Filmmaker Award at the IFP Market 2007 (in the Emerging Narrative category) and was a finalist at the Sundance Lab 07, has been adapted to an American setting. The original version was aimed to be shot in France and in French.  The title, which loses completely its French double-meaning, has been replaced by 1975.  Instead of dealing with the French-Algerian war that ended in 1962, the new story focuses on the Vietnam war, which officially ended in 1975.  Production is forecast for Spring 10.  (Check Pre-Production Page).
