Film Independent is pleased to announce the return of our program for working writers. Film Independent’s Writers Salon brings together some of today’s top screenwriters to talk about a specific aspect of the craft in an intimate setting. This session’s topic will be adaptation, both of fiction and history.

The conversation will be moderated by acclaimed screenwriter/director Jane Anderson whose credits include the adaptations of The Wife, How to Make an American Quilt and Olive Kitteridge, for which she received the Emmy for Outstanding Writing for a Limited Series.
