Adaptation for FIlm & TV

You joined Film Fatales for a discussion about Adaptations for Film & Television with Hannah KS Canter (OK Goodnight), Marilyn Fu (Sisterhood of Night), Samantha Dickinson (Secret Machine), Stacy Osei-Kuffour (The Power), and Whit Anderson (Daredevil) facilitated by Film Fatales members Drew Denny and Suzi Yoonessi.
Film Fatales organizes panel discussions and networking mixers for women and non-binary feature film and television directors in Los Angeles.

This event was open to the public. At this event, our goal was that audience members leave with a deeper understanding of the adaptation process: As filmmakers, how do we develop movies and television based on pre-existing IP like books, documentaries, short films, podcasts, news articles, and more? As creators of original IP, what do we need to know about the adaptation process? Our panelists – representing those whose works have been adapted as well as those who’ve developed, sold, and produced content based on pre-existing IP – walk us through the steps of developing adaptations and the roles of production companies and distributors, sharing their experience regarding what makes for a successful adaptation. Bloomberg Digital filmed the panel as part of a short piece about the gender parity movement in the film & TV industry and conducted interviews before and after the panel discussion.
