Books on Screen at VIFF 2024

October 10th, 2024

 

 

On October 3rd, 2024, Books BC partnered with the Canadian Media Producers Association (CMPA) and Creative BC to present the first Books on Screen event since 2018. This half-day event in partnership brought together BC screen-based content creators with BC publishers to pitch and discover intellectual property, build relationships and leverage existing material for optioning and development. The event took place during the Vancouver International Film Festival at their main venue and included a public-facing industry panel with members of the creative team from Murder In a Small Town (Global/FOX), a new drama series co-produced by local producers and based on BC writer L.R. Wright’s novel. Curated B2B meetings between producers and publishers took place in 25 minute sessions throughout the event. Thank you to all of the publishers and producers whose participation made this event a success!
