#StoryAdaptation

Whether it be a beloved novel, a work of nonfiction, or even a story from somebody’s life, the adaptation from original source material to a feature film is a huge undertaking, with many creative decisions lying in the hands of the adaptor. Learn how Paul Dano and Zoe Kazan (Wildlife), Debra Granik (Leave No Trace), and Lynne Ramsay (You Were Never Really Here), with moderator Eugene Hernandez (deputy director, Film Society of Lincoln Center; co-publisher, Film Comment magazine), approach this process and how they’ve transformed an original work into a new creative piece. Check sundance.org for up-to-date information.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
