175 | American Fiction Writer/Director Cord Jefferson's Advice For Adaptating Material

Cord Jefferson knows what if feels like to watch a project die. Recently, he had a greenlit show that was so close to shooting that the production office for the show had an physical address. And then, it died. In a creative funk, Cord discovered Percival Everett's novel Erasure which immediately reignited a passion in Cord, and eventually became his debut feature film AMERICAN FICITION. Today, Cord discusses the process of adapting the novel. JOIN OUR PATREON: www.patreon.com/thescreenwritinglife
