During this episode, you’ll learn how to write From the Page to Stage (or Screen): the Art of Adaptation.
My industry expert is… Mike Parker. As the publisher of WordCrafts Press, Mike Parker is also an award-winning writer, actor, director, playwright, and screenwriter. He holds a BA degree in Bible and Philosophy, served with the renowned US Army Special Forces (Green Berets), and had a career as a stockbroker before taking the entrepreneurial leap into the unpredictable world of the entertainment industry.
While publishing is a full-time job, in his spare time (ha!) Mike has produced and hosted two nationally syndicated Christian music video TV shows, written more than 100 episodes of three other Christian music video shows, produced and directed one feature film, and appeared in more than a dozen feature films, as well as numerous music videos and regional and national television commercials.
Alright, let’s head into our content for today… From the Page to Stage (or Screen): the Art of Adaptation.
