Closed Captioned
David Mitchell and Aleksandar Hemon are the screenwriting duo behind the fourth Matrix film: The Matrix Resurrections. They are also celebrated fiction writers in their own right. Mitchell is the bestselling author of nine novels, including the Man Booker Prize-shortlisted Cloud Atlas (which was adapted to film by Lana and Lilly Wachowski in 2012). Hemon is a Macarthur Genius Grant recipient, journalist and award-winning author of novels including The Lazarus Project. In this Postcards From Abroad digital conversation, the two friends and collaborators join screenwriter and journalist Maria Lewis to discuss their approach to screenwriting, and the experience of being handpicked by Lana Wachowski to co-write the feverishly anticipated, trilogy-busting latest instalment of her iconic franchise. This event will be close captioned. The online bookseller for this event is Hill of Content Bookshop.
