Nick Hornby is an esteemed novelist who also adapts other authors for the big screen, including his latest, "Brooklyn"; composer Dustin O’Halloran deconstructs his theme music from "Transparent" for Song Exploder; the Havana Film Festival showcases the nascent Cuban indie film movement.

The novelist ("High Fidelity," "About a Boy") and screenwriter is not interested in visiting the movie sets of his screenplays, saying his role is over by that point.
