ABOUT THIS SESSION

Creating believable international settings requires more than a passport. In this session, panelists discuss researching locations, deciding when to conduct on-site research, capturing the culture and atmosphere of unfamiliar places, and incorporating foreign languages into stories with authenticity and clarity.
