PANEL: Adapting Fiction For The Screen
Friday, April 28, 2017
1:00 pm to 2:00 pm
The Queen Mary
Long Beach, CA
Hollywood loves to find new places to mine for stories. In the 80s, action and horror were their mainstays. In the 90s, they transitioned to comic books and reboots of existing works. Now, agency readers are frequently looking for their next big hits on the shelves of bookstores. Studios are mining intellectual properties from independent publishers and short story collections. Translating a story from narrative fiction to a shoot-ready script is no easy task. This panel will give you an overview of the process and help you find the core of your idea so you can adapt or option option your work to producers.
Moderator Ace Antonio Hall
