Description
From page to screen, what happens when stories evolve beyond their original form? Discover how writers and screen creatives build worlds that can stretch across different mediums, balancing fidelity to a story’s core with the freedom to expand its characters, settings and possibilities.
Tony Patrick, screenwriter, worldbuilder, and co-author of DC’s Batman and The Signal, joins us in conversation to explore the creative tensions and collaborations that shape storytelling across media. From crafting immersive worlds and reimagining iconic characters to navigating different creative perspectives, the discussion will examine the responsibilities and rewards of adaptation.
Expect honest insights, creative inspiration, and a deeper understanding of how compelling worlds continue to grow long after the first story is told.
