The Art of Adaptation

Armstrong Room of the High Peaks Resort

Should you adapt your book into a screenplay? And if so, how?

Whether you’re writing a novel, memoir, short story or creative nonfiction, this conversation with Adirondack Center For Writing Director Nathalie Thill and WGA Award Winning Screenwriter Jacob Krueger will give you a new perspective on the art of adaptation. You’ll learn the similarities (and differences) between book writing and writing for TV or film, how to know if your book can be translated into a movie or TV show, how to decide if you want to write the screenplay or turn it over to a screenwriter, and how to best make the transition to the business of screenwriting.

This event is part of the Lake Placid Film Festival and is free/open to the public (no festival pass needed).
