Letters_ and adapted it for the screen as well as being commissioned

When it comes to adaptation, it's important to remember that books and
films represent two different forms of storytelling.
The role of the filmmaker is to make a great film. So how does the
producer navigate the delicate balance of remaining faithful to the
source material knowing how literature and film each have their own
creative structure?
Our panellists will discuss their personal experiences through the
scripted development process - sharing case studies, stories and
insights on how they have successfully maintained the spirit of the
story moving from page to screen.
