Terminator Salvation producers Victor Kubicek and Derek Anderson have partnered with style icon Beatrix Ost to adapt her two memoirs My Father’s House: A Childhood In Wartime Bavaria and the forthcoming More Than Everything.
The books will form the basis for a single feature called More than Everything that takes place in WWII Germany as a young girl witnesses her family’s role in helping people flee the Nazi regime.
Kubicek and Ost co-wrote the screenplay and Kubicek and Anderson will produce through The Halcyon Company.

At other festivals when we started to ask people what film school they went to (if any), we noticed that a lot of those who didn't go to film school wanted to talk about who their mentors were. When we asked Tribeca filmmakers who their inspirations and mentors were, they were eager to respond, whether they went to film school or not. Here are their answers: Derek Anderson and Victor Kubicek ("In God We Trust"): Making our mockumentary comedy, "Cook Off," was a crash course in film making and we came out the other side with a practical hands on education in film. Since we started making films in 2006, we have been lucky enough to work with a diverse group of incredible people like Gore Vidal, Wendi McClendon Covey, Christian Bale and Susanne Rostock and so many others. Each one of them in their own way have contributed to us as filmmakers.

Perhaps the only thing bigger than the capacity for human greed is the capacity for human stupidity. Victor Kubicek and Derek Anderson’s feature debut, In God We Trust, a somewhat enlightening documentary about the financial misdeeds of financier Bernie Madoff, spends just as much time chronicling the negligence and inattention that allowed Madoff to rob his clients of billions as it does trying to unravel just why he actually did it. The film centers on the journey of Madoff’s personal secretary of 25 years, Eleanor Squillari, who has made it her mission to complete her own investigation into just what her boss did, how he did it, and who else was involved. While the majority of In God We Trust focuses on the heartbreak and fallout from Madoff’s crimes – and there’s plenty of heartbreak and fallout to mine here – its final third crumbles into aimless finger-pointing and raising questions it is in no way...

Producers Victor Kubicek and Derek Anderson first rose to prominence in 2006 when they co-founded The Halcyon Company and Halcyon Games in 2006, the company that three years later would produce "Terminator Salvation," in addition to 2007's mockumentary "Cook Off." For the follow up to the release of those films, the partners decided they would try their hand at directing for the first time, resulting in their Madoff crime set documentary "In God We Trust" What it's about: "Eleanor Squillari went to work every day believing she was working for a great company, a great man. For twenty-five years she sat fifteen feet away from Bernard L. Madoff as his personal secretary. She never imagined he was perpetrating the largest financial crime in history. On December 11, 2008, her life as she knew it was destroyed…until she decided to do something about it. “In God We Trust” is not only an in depth look at the Madoff crime,...
