​When directors work to bring a written novel or story to film or the stage, they must work with the available ?

resources, including budget, actors, set design, technology, and time constraints. They also need to consider the audience and how to adapt the source material to suit the medium of film or theater. Additionally, they may need to collaborate with screenwriters, producers, and other creative team members to bring the story to life in a way that stays faithful to the original work while also making necessary adjustments for the new format.
