Ever thought that your Western novel or short story would make the next great movie? Now that it's in print, adapting it into a screenplay is a cinch, right? Well, not so fast. Booth Writers Guild has invited Mitchell Olson, experienced Hollywood screenwriter, to speak to us about exactly how that process goes. More importantly he will explain how the written and the visual treatment of the same very story varies.
