Chase Thompson, chair of the Digital Film Department at Stephens College, and screenwriter-filmmaker LeeAnne Lowry, will guide you through an engaging workshop focused on story structure and adapting a book into film, using our 2024 One Read title, "Migrations," as source material.
Indulge your inner filmmaker and speculate on how elements of the book would be translated to the big (or small) screen. Do a little "dream-casting" by speculating which actors would best play your favorite characters! Finally, you'll learn more about the relatively recently established (2017) Stephens College MFA in TV and Screenwriting, the first low-residency program of its kind in the country and the first to focus on the mission of bringing more female writers into mainstream Hollywood.
Adults and teens.
