Screenwriting : Adaptations: The Chicken or The Egg? by Terrance Grace

Last year, I went through several drafts of my screenplay, "The Locksmith" with my manager at Zero Gravity. After an initial flurry of activity... The shark-infested waters around it, began to recede. I looked for another route to get it into production. That's when I decided to backup and turn it into a graphic novel... First as a means to promote it; and secondly as a means to explore unchartered territory (for myself). After putting together a comp -- the first two scenes and a critical midpoint scene... I decided to go for it and create a kickstarter campaign to finish what is projected to be a 130 page, full color graphic novel. I'm having a blast... And actually have been contacted by two production companies with serious creds, since launch. Nothing firm, just wanting a look at the source material. Which brings me to my discussion topic: Chicken or Egg. What came first? While adapting the script into this new medium, I found the process invaluable in focusing action and character development, sharpening dialogue and even opening up new channels, that I never thought of before (and that's after 6 drafts). I could even see taking this through a 7th draft, once the GN is completed. Anyone else going through or considering this same process? p.s. if you are interested here is the project website: http://thelocksmith.me
