In this episode of Writing at the Red House podcast, host Kathi Lipp interviews co-host and author Susy Flory about her extraordinary experience of having her book "The Unbreakable Boy" adapted into a movie.
Kathi begins by sharing her recent experience attending Susy's movie premiere in Jackson, California, where they also conducted a Q&A session after the screening. Rather than recreating that session, they decided to revisit those questions for podcast listeners who might dream of seeing their own books on the big screen someday.
Susy explains why she chose to host her premiere in the small town of Jackson rather than a larger city, emphasizing the importance of celebrating with her supportive local community. She reveals the journey of "The Unbreakable Boy" – a father-son story about a special boy with brittle bone disease and autism who teaches his family how to live – from book to screen, noting that the process took nearly a decade.
The episode offers both practical advice for writers interested in film adaptation and an inspiring look at one author's journey from page to screen.
Welcome to The Writing at the Red House Podcast where we gather at the table to break bread and tell tales with some of our favorite writers and speakers. Our heart is to equip and encourage men and women to be the communicators God has created them to be.
