Meet the Books | Adaptable Initiative Launch

Screenwest’s new Adaptable Initiative kicks off with a Meet the Books night on 15th September 2020 at 6:00pm.

This Zoom-hosted event will give screenwriters, producers and directors the opportunity to hear a short pitch and participate in a Q&A about the books chosen for this initiative and presented by Fremantle Press, Magabala Books and Margaret River Press. Copies of all books will be available for interested creatives following the evening.

After the event, creative teams will have the opportunity to create a short, two-page treatment outlining their approach to adapting their chosen book. This treatment is due on 16 November 2020.  From these submissions, Screenwest will select up to three teams to receive further development funding for their project.

Participation in ‘Meet the Books’ is the necessary first step to applying for funds under this initiative.
