Pic is based on the memoir by Terry Ryan about being the sixth child of Evelyn Ryan, a Midwestern housewife and composer of ad jingles for products such as Dial soap and Kleenex. In the 1950s and '60s, the elder Ryan rescued her family from debt by entering contests for ad slogans sponsored by consumer product companies.
Anderson's directorial debut was the HBO feature "Normal," about the impact of a sex change operation on a family. Pic bowed at Sundance in 2003.
Her next directing project is "The Wife," based on the novel by Meg Wolitzer, for Fine Line, which she is also adapting.
Feature screenwriting credits include "How to Make an American Quilt," and "It Could Happen to You."
Anderson is repped by the Gage Group.
