Morgan Gendel has spoken extensively about the fan-favorite “Inner Light” episode of Star Tek: The Next Generation for which he won the Hugo Award for Science Fiction Writing. In the course of this panel, he will discuss the differing techniques employed for TV and Film writing as opposed to novels and written stories. Using his own works for TV as well as his soon-to-be-published sci-fi novel, Planet Six, Gendel will examine how themes, the classic three-act structure, and hero’s journey are applied differently to novels and screenplays. Movies such as Star Wars and the works of authors such as Neal Stephenson, Peter Watts, Madeleine Ashby and Robert Charles Wilson, among others, will be discussed.
