Dollar Deal: The Story of the Stephen King Dollar Baby Filmmakers

By Shawn S. Lealos

"Interesting and sometimes quite brilliant." - Stephen King

This is how the Master of Horror describes the Dollar Baby Films made by young filmmakers looking to get their big break in Hollywood. Stephen King has been offering this deal to filmmakers since 1976, with Frank Darabont (Shawshank Redemption) as the biggest success story.

Author Shawn S. Lealos, a Dollar Baby filmmaker himself (I Know What You Need), tells the story of 19 filmmakers who made it to the big time thanks to the generosity of Stephen King. Interviews include Peter Sullivan (Night Surf), Nick Wauters (Rainy Season), Jeff Schiro (The Boogeyman), and Jay Holben (Paranoid).
