The book was better. (Or was it?) Stop arguing with your friends about the book being better and come prove it at our ultimate film-lover's book club! Cover to Credits is a quarterly deep dive for those who love the spine of a book as much as the frame of a film. Read the source material at home, then come screen the adaptation at RFC and join the discussion.

Read the words, see the vision, and join the conversation.
