Erik Jensen in converation with Thomas M Wright: Book to film

Thursday 30 May, 6.30pm

It took director Thomas M. Wright and author Erik Jensen years to convert Acute Misfortune, Jensen’s acclaimed biography of artist Adam Cullen, into the screenplay that became the successful and highly praised film of the same title.

Join us as they discuss the highs and the lows and practicalities of making a book into a film.

This event is free, but please book here.
