Text to Screen: Adapting Stories to Visual Narratives
Presentation Type
Talk/Oral
Summary
This presentation shows my creative vision for making the novel The Lies of Locke Lamora a TV series. It explores multiple different aspects of the process including casting, visuals, and the reasoning behind why The Lies of Locke Lamora should be brought to the big screen. These reasons combine both structural factors of the story and more emotional aspects such as the deep friendship between the main characters. It also discusses the cultural relevancy of the text. The relevancy includes both personal and political conversations in the book
