Why I wrote this

I wrote this in a screenwriting course with Kathleen DeMarco Van Cleve. I chose to adapt Walter Isaacson’s biography The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race for two reasons: (1) all the subjects of Isaacson’s past biographies have been featured in a film, except Jennifer Doudna; and (2) the story is riveting, inspiring, and timely.

If there’s an inspiring story to tell, I want to tell it. I don’t believe in telling a story for the sake of telling a story. I believe that all stories, written or unwritten, are meant to inspire.
