Did you know that more than 80% of the most successful films are based on novels?
But which novel is suitable for film adaptation? How do I translate the text into a successful audiovisual experience that will be a hit at the box office? A successful adaptation requires not only a correct assessment of the potential, but also a great deal of skill in implementation.
The BuchScout agency has specialised in the evaluation of novels since 2009 and accompanies producers all over Europe in the dramaturgical realisation of their cinema hit – among our projects you will find several box office millionaires.
BuchScout is happy to announce that “Vera Dreams of the Sea” premieres in #Sweden this #February– We are honored that our film is selected in #IngmarBergmanCompetition of the 45th edition of Göteborg Film Festival
In selectors words:
“The moving feature film debut is a sophisticated portrayal of female compliance and empathic capabilities in collision with a male honour code.”
