Ink to Film

Do you like to read the book before you see the movie? Or do you prefer to hunt down the source material after you fall in love with a film/tv show? If you answered yes to either, you’re like Luke and James--a writer and filmmaker respectively who use their backgrounds studying stories for in-depth discussions of adaptations past and present. If you like delving into the craft behind the art you love, then Ink to Film is for you. It’s a book and movie club all in one, focused on the art of storytelling.
