The Birthday Party with Charles Randolph | Development Hell

A masterclass on a screenwriter's many minefields.

Before Charles Randolph won an Oscar for writing β€œThe Big Short,” he adapted a memoir called β€œThe Birthday Party”: the true story of a white man kidnapped by three young Black men. Is there a way to bring a story like that to screen, in a way that's honest and authentic? Randolph gives us a masterclass on a screenwriter's many minefields.
