Stephen King used to “grant permission to students and aspiring filmmakers to adapt one of his short stories for $1”. He called them his Dollar Babies. Frank Darabont made one of these $1 films and later directed The Shawshank Redemption.

Shawshank is my favorite screen adaptation.
Every time that the camera pulls back for the long shot of Red approaching Andy on the beach…I tear up a little.
Every. Damn. Time.
