Screenwriter Geoffrey Fletcher spent his days as an adjunct professor at Columbia University's Tisch School of the Arts when he was offered the chance to adapt the novel Push into a screenplay. Tackling the heartwrenching subject matter head-on, Fletcher was rewarded when the resulting film, 2009's Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire, became a massive critical success, earning him an Oscar nomination and win for Best Adapted Screenplay.
