In this workshop you'll gain a clear understanding of what an adaptation is, and how to move from idea to being ready to write one. Whether you have a book or poem in mind that you'd like to adapt, or are interested in finding one, learning the process, legal, and creative aspects is a valuable tool for writers, directors, and producers. This workshop will provide a framework you can use to think through the creative process and intellectual property rights for your future collaborations.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO LEARN:
-What makes something an adaptation
-How adaptations differ from their original works
-What are the differences between rights and an option
-How to approach authors and publishers
-How to acquire rights
-How to select a story you can adapt
-How to combine characters
-How to write visually
