Dollar Babies

This past weekend provided Stephen King fans with an unique opportunity: a marathon viewing of King Dollar Babies! For those unfamiliar, a Dollar Baby is a film that King sells the rights to for, you guess it, a dollar. These films are never released for a profit, but usually make the festival rounds or are uploaded to YouTube for posterity.

It was fascinating to see all the takes on these stories, and while some definitely worked better than others, the entire experience was just five stars all around. The King community came together for three days of movie making, and had a blast doing it!

The full schedule and list of the films is below:
