The Dreams of a Ridiculously Ambitious Teen - A History in Adaptations

Adaptational

It's every filmmaker's dream, and every young artist's Achilles' heel. The adaptation. The desire to tell another man's story in your own way, or else in the way you believe is the right way. But what can you do when the world outpaces you? What is left for you when your aspirations stretch beyond their reach? What stories are you left to tell?

In this special self-isolation bonus episode, your host Skye Thorleifson recalls the aspirations of his youth, reflecting on the stories that he wanted to retell, and what influences they left on his art and his soul.

And yes, this is the exact tone of voice he intends to use throughout this entire saga.
