Producing A WRINKLE IN TIME – Tuesday, February 13, 2018 from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm
Discovery Communications Building, 1 Discovery Place, Silver Spring, MD
WIFV is excited to have an evening with Catherine Hand, producer of A WRINKLE IN TIME to share with us her 30-year journey to bring this beloved novel to the big screen. She'll also give us insights into the production of what is anticipated to be one of the largest grossing films of 2018. Catherine Hand's journey with A WRINKLE IN TIME began when she first read the beloved novel as a young girl, dreaming of one day making it into a major motion picture. Years later, Hand met Madeleine L'Engle, establishing a lifelong friendship and earning L'Engle's trust as a steward for the film adaptation - an odyssey of perseverance spanning over three decades.
