How much of the actual history do you keep? What do you cut? What do you change? What part of someone’s life do you focus on? And how can you make sure your feature or pilot brings something to the conversation?
And you thought inventing characters and story was hard. But don’t worry! Frederic Richter is here to walk us through all of this and more!
This 90-Minute Webinar Covers:
- True stories that merit adaptation, and the ones that don’t
- When to take artistic liberties, and when to stick to the facts
- How to imbue cinematic structure
- Whether a story should go the feature or TV route
- The importance of bringing something new to the conversation

I must say I learned more in 90 minutes with Mr. Richter than I had in the previous 90 weeks!
