Hello /lit/, I'm trying to become a better screenwriter

I always thought The Deep would make a good film. It wasn't the best novel, but I feel like a lot of it would work great on screen.

I honestly think trying to adapt a miniseries of Dubliners that intertwines certain events and characters in interesting ways would be really cool. Having the kids in Araby be related to someone or live on the same street or something like that.
