A Night with David Magee

The 11th annual Flick Fest benefitting HP LitFest took place on Thursday, January 30th, 2025 at the Angelika Film Center. David Magee, a two-time Academy Award nominee spoke about his career as a screenwriter and his body of work adapting books into movies like Finding Neverland, The Life of Pi, Mary Poppins Returns, The Life of Otto as well as many others. The audience was captivated by his presentation and our moderator, Dr Barry Preston’s, inquisitive and carefully curated questions. It was an informative night full of anecdotes, trials and tribulations and lively discussion.

FlickFest started in 2014 and continues today as the only fundraising event for HP LitFest. Past presentations have included cast, directors and producers from films like The Burial, The Last Picture Show, Twelve Mighty Orphans, Friday Night Lights and The Bachelors.
