The Dorset Echo has an interesting story about a Bridport film-maker, Mark McFarlane, who will be filming I Am The Doorway. (Bridport is a market town in Dorset, England.)
McFarlane is a King fan who got the rights to the film for that famous $1 (a Dollar Baby). He explains a dollar baby, “[King] came up with this scheme back in the 80s where he gives the rights to some of his stories to students and aspiring film-makers for a dollar. Really promising film-makers have come out of this like Frank Darabont who directed the Shawshank Redemption as a dollar baby."
McFarlane says he has been writing the script and hoping to film at Eype. He has hopes that the film will give Bridport international exposure.
You can find I Am The Doorway in King's collection of short stories, Night Shift. It was first published in the march 1971 issue of Cavlier magazine. It is featured on the cover of Night Shift.
I am the doorway and Mrs. Todd's shortcut are two of my favorite short stories by Stephen King. I can't wait to see them in film. Jw
