Author and self-styled “co-conspirator,” Howard Frank Mosher visited the Marlboro Film Intensive’s Northern Literature class to discuss his novel and director Jay Craven’s screenplay adaptation. Leading the discussion with high energy and more than a little self-deprecating wit, Mosher regaled our class with his thoughts on the screenplay and responded to student questions about his writing process (he writes 6+ hours each day using longhand on yellow legal pads), his previous collaborations with Jay Craven (four previous films), and the fascinating and unconventional worlds of his Northern Borders characters. Mr. Mosher proved himself to be an expert storyteller, equal to our beloved Director/Professor, Jay Craven.
With the production looming we hope to see more of Mr. Mosher!
