In today's film, our heroes are racing back to the year 2018 to correct some wrongs.

And I, too, would like to go back to the year 2018, but they're hogging the time machine and

nobody else could use it.

Howdy.

I'm Jeff Goldsmith, and this is the Q&A.

My agenda is simple.

Each week, I plan to bring you in-depth insights into the creative process of storytelling.

And folks, you know what,

it's okay. They could use the time machine. I will go back to the year 2018 to fix some stuff

at a later date. I am happy to wait my turn. But you know what? I am quite pleased to have

with us today writer Jonathan Trapper to discuss his latest film, The Adam Project. You know, this movie is silly fun,

and it was a good conversation with Jonathan about his journey going from a novelist to TV

writer to film writer as well. So he was very forthcoming about his creative process and what

it took to get the Adam Project made. so I know you'll dig this episode.

And speaking of things to dig, I hope you will also check out Backstory magazine over at

Backstory.net. You could read us on a desktop or laptop or via our iPad app, Backstory.

Folks, as you know, we published our amazing Dune issue, number 45, but our Oscar issue

is coming out soon, and we're

publishing the first half of it, the Oscar only half of it, and then we're going to publish

the other articles as well. So being a digital magazine, we could do fun things like that,

which means that, look, now is a perfect time to subscribe to Backstory Magazine. If you've

never read us before, you could test drive us by reading our free issue.
