The Dollar Baby: Reviews & Interviews (2020) - E-book - ePub

Discover Stephen King stories adapted by students and aspiring filmmakers you've never even heard of. I review over 70, in this book, and interview some of their creators. Dollar Baby refers to a society of creators and their films. It can also refer to an arrangement between King and them. For a dollar, they were granted permission to adapt one of his short stories, novellas, and poems. These cannot be shown publicly outside of festivals.
They're secret films. In this book, I describe my experience in screening them, how I felt, what I saw, and the differences between each version of a given adaptation. I got to know several screenwriters, directors, and producers. I heard their stories, their opinion of the Dollar Deal, and I documented it all in here. Long days and pleasant nights!
