You hear it all the time: "...the book was better!" Passionate fans of a particular novel tend to feel let down when it is adapted for the silver screen. But how much of that is subjective? Our experience with a novel is one of natural solitude and becomes not only a very intense connection (presuming we've enjoyed the novel) but also a very personal connection. Brendan Kredell, Assc. Prof. of Cinema Studies at Oakland University returns to talk about the heavy lifting all screenwriters/directors/actors have to do when translating a book to film. 

Also, we're teasing the eventual start-up of a new FILM DISCUSSION group, this fall! We hope you'll join us.
