It’s a Script! It’s a Comic! It’s a TV Show! (60 minutes)

In this panel, writer Jaimie Engle discusses her journey adapting a short story to a television script and a comic book with her illustrator KOOLasHECK. Participants will enjoy an engaging conversation about the process, the script, the adaptation process, and the collaboration needed to create a comic, along with the benefit of writing for tv and comics with one script.

It’s a Script! It’s a Comic! It’s a TV show! If you’ve got a story to tell, you don’t want to miss this panel on how to turn your story into a script you can sell to a comic publisher AND Hollywood. We did it. Why can’t you?
