Halbrooks, Toby

A lot has changed for Pete’s Dragon since the 1970s. Join writing duo Toby Halbrooks and David Lowery for a conversation on how they brought this adaptation to life, how fairy tales have changed since they were kids, and how they dealt with the responsibility of making something old into something new.

Money isn’t the only thing separating the style and content of massive studio efforts and intimate indie productions. Finding a way to make the voice of the storyteller ring through in these seemingly opposite worlds can be difficult, but it is possible! Join panelists who have dabbled in both indie and studio worlds.
