Page to Screen Adaptation

Peter Herbert, Pieter Aquilia, Lisa Hoppe

Fresh from its success at the Berlin Film Festival, AFTRS alumni Lisa Hoppe will share her experiences in adapting the popular coming-of-age novel, My Life as an Alphabet, into a critically acclaimed and award-winning international feature film, H is for Happiness. Described by Variety as “feel-good entertainment for the entire family without pandering — or sacrificing style or substance,” Lisa talks about her adaptation process from book to film from the perspective of both writer and producer. The session will present a contemporary case study of how to negotiate screen adaptations for a global market and will include Q & A.
