Synopsis
Adaptations have long been a mainstay of Hollywood and the television networks. Indeed, most Academy Award- and Emmy Award-winning films have been adaptations of novels, plays, or true-life stories. Linda Seger, author of two acclaimed books on scriptwriting, now offers a comprehensive handbook for screenwriters, producers, and directors who want to successfully transform fictional or factual material into film. Seger tells how to analyze source material to understand why some of it resists adaptation. She then gives practical methods for translating story, characters, themes, and style into film. A final section details essential information on how to adapt material and how to protect oneself legally

    This watchband NEVER came! He sent me a photo of a manilla envelope with my address on it and a single first class "forever" stamp on it! He said that he would NOT send it with tracking but one would assume that the vendor would use adequate postage, which, since it has been 11 days since he SUPPOSEDLY shipped it, it should have been here by now! BE CAREFUL OF THIS VENDOR AND INSIST ON a TRACKING NUMBER!
