Word & Film

How often do you read a book and think, “that would be a good movie”? Have you noticed when a movie, series, or mini-series was taken from a book? Bosch, on Amazon Prime, taken from Michael Connelly books, for example. We are big fans of using books to create quality content on film. Hopefully posts in this category will continue to grow. By no means do these posts represent the only books taken to the screen. Just a sampling to put it on the radar.
