Get to know writer P. James Norris:
I took Aaron Sorkin’s Masterclass on screenwriting in 2018 and our first assignment was to adapt a short story as a no more than 10 page screenplay. I don’t remember remember how I stumbled across Philip K. Dick’s 1954 short story, “Beyond the Door”—I know I was searching for stories in the public domain, and I think I was searching for Philip K. Dick stories in particular as he has got to be the most adapted American writer, period.
