New Class!
This class is for writers wishing to adapt source material of any form (play, novel, tv show, web series...the sky's the limit!) into a screenplay, focusing on adapting specifically with the camera in mind. You will discuss each person's adaptation, as well as the rights to the original source material, and what one can gain from doing an adaptation. Richard will be hands-on in class, talking to you about your project as if he were directing it and asking the same questions a director would if they were going to film your adaptation. This will take a lot of hard work, writing, and rewriting, but if you're up for the challenge, this class will be intense, fun, and productive, and by the end of ten weeks you should have a first draft of your screenplay.
Richard has had great success adapting to the screen across many forms, including from his novel The Third Miracle (produced by Francis Ford Coppola, starring Ed Harris and Anne Heche) and from his plays The Marriage Fool (starring Walter Mathau and Carol Burnett) and How to Go Out On a Date in Queens (starring Jason Alexander).
