How do you take interesting stories that already exist as books or life histories and turn them into compelling scripts? Kevin Nicklaus is back by popular demand to help you figure out how to adapt a story for film. Many people want to tell a story from their own life or from that of a historical figure but don't know how much or how little to tell. Sometimes you loved the story in a book but the freedom feels restricted when adapting to a script. Kevin is going to give tips and techniques to keep in mind when adapting stories of any kind!

This 90-min. Webinar Will Cover:

  • The importance of thematic unity
  • The difference between being true to fact and true to the story
  • How to properly adapt a story from your life
  • The correct format that your adaptation will fit in
