Though they come from different worlds, playwriting and screenwriting have more in common than you think. Just ask Stephen Belber, the playwright and filmmaker who successfully adapted many of his plays into films. Join us for a conversation with the mind behind Tape, The Laramie Project, and Match, about how to break into the world of film with a playwright’s résumé. Learn how to adapt dialogue for a screen, reduce stage directions into scene descriptors, and write for a wider variety of characters and locations than you could fit on a stage. If you ever wanted to know how to skillfully move between these two mediums, this panel is for you.
