How does a story transform when it moves from the page to the screen? Writer, showrunner and producer Tom Rob Smith explores the creative differences between writing literature and building a series, from character and structure to suspense and the delicate art of turning real-life source material into page and screen. Author of the novels Child 44, The Secret Speech and Agent 6, and creator of London Spy, The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story and MotherFatherSon, Smith brings a unique perspective on storytelling across mediums.
Moderator: Lars Blomgren, producer
The masterclass will be conducted in English with simultaneous interpretation into Greek.
