Adapting Prose to the Screen (interview)

Earlier this evening I was part of the Dead Robots’ Society roundtable discussion on adapting prose to the screen.  Along with me were top-tier storytellers Matt Wallace and Patrick McLean.

Questions came both from the terrific hosts (PG Holyfield, Justin Macumber, Terry Mixon, and Ryan Stevenson) as well as the audience questions I had mentioned before.

The interview ranges from lessons learned in the world of commercials and advertising, the challenges in switching from prose to screenwriting, and what it takes to preserve a good story from the page to the screen.

You get a chance to get to know the hosts in the beginning, the actual interview begins around 15:20 in.  You get to hear me at my most silly, so take it while you can get it.
