This workshop examines the ways stories work in different media and how these can be translated into effective screenplays. We'll see how successful adaptations have worked in the past - and why some of the less successful adaptations failed to make the transition. We'll have time to discuss individual projects if people want to bring them in. Charles Harris is a writer and director of award-winning TV films. He helped found the SW and teaches at the London International Film School.
