Is this arranged marriage a blessing in disguise or a disaster waiting to happen? VALERIA IS GETTING MARRIED has astounded audiences and critics across the globe with its tense setting, intelligent writing, and top-notch performances from its minimal cast. Writer/director Michal Vinik has created a powerful tale of two women willing to decide for themselves and not fall victim to society’s demands.

Adaptation - Turning Novels to Screenplays and Vice-Versa
2019-03-12 18:30 - 20:00 | Philadelphia Film Center (Formerly The Prince Theater), 1412 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, 19102, United States
Gain expert professional insight on the creative and business best practices for adapting a novel into a screenplay and a screenplay into a novel from a publisher, an agent, a novelist and a playwright/screenwriter.
PURCHASE TICKETS
Our panel:
Bruce Graham, playwright/screenwriter/actor
Liz Moore, writer of fiction and creative non fiction
David Borgenicht, CEO and owner of Quirk Books
Jess Dallow, Brower Literary & Management

In this panel event, some of the many questions covered in addition to the audience Q&A will be:

Does an author automatically get to write the first draft script adaptation of his book when a producer options it?
When should a screenwriter decide to adapt one of their original scripts into a novel (reverse adaptation) — rather than write another original screenplay?
Are ‘book ‘genres the same as ‘film’ or ‘TV’ genres? When a book gets adapted into a script, can its ‘genre’ change?
What will it do for the screenwriter’s career? How does an author-turned-screenwriter decide what elements of a story ‘stay’ and what must ‘go’ when adapting their novel/non-fiction book into a script?
How should an author who adapts her own books promote herself—as a novelist or a screenwriter? If she’s ‘both’, will she dilute her career path?
Publishers don’t always make an issue of securing dramatic rights to works they are acquiring—why does Quirk, and what do you do with them?
What can authors and publishers do to give their works the best shot at making it onto a big or little screen?
How can a publisher ensure that the author stays as involved as he/she wants to in the process of adapting their works?
