An Evening With Chris Sparling

Actor-director-producer Sparling became a screenwriter-in-demand for his much-praised script for a claustrophobic thriller, Buried (2010), which he will screen at BU. Sparling solved the seemingly impossible, how to give life on the page to the story of an American truck driver in Iraq buried alive in a coffin. Sparling’s extreme writing challenge: one immobile person with a flashlight, a knife, and a mobile phone…and the oxygen giving out.
