Book, Script and Action!
A Book-to-Film Adaptation and Screenwriters Seminar

Friday, Nov. 9, 2 - 4:30 p.m.
Building 1, 2nd Floor Auditorium
Free Admission

Join us for the Book-to-Film Adaptation and Screenwriters Seminar, an
in-depth conversation with professionals who are translating literary
masterworks to the big screen. Discuss the elements of a story that
lend themselves to adaptation, what to emphasize or omit to maintain
the soul of the work, and how to bring life to a character through
casting. Plus, don’t miss the kickoff of the new Florida Screenwriting
Contest! Panelists include: Captain of the Sands director Cecília
Amado, producer Bruno Stropiana, screenwriter José de Carvalho; Yvon
Girard, director of L’Imaginaire Collection, Les Editions Gallimard; The
Two Deaths of Quincas Wateryell director and screenwriter Sérgio
Machado. Both of these films are adaptations of work by Brazilian literary
legend Jorge Amado.

Moderated by Dr. Sam Grogg, director of the School of Communication, University of Miami.
