By walking through Main Street, she crosses the road of several characters. A young girl with a Red Sox cap, who plays with a Saint-Bernard. A little further, on a bench, a man is reading a book written by Paul Sheldon... It&rsquo;s funny as the light can be tricky, we could totally believe his hair is grass. An old red Plymouth Fury, with plates RUN J RUN, and a hairdresser called In the Tall Grass are across the street, and on a building, a graffiti represent ing a man, standing over the ledge. She finally enters a small shop : Needful Things.</em></p> <p style="text-align:center">&nbsp;</p> <p>The intro is planned to be shot in the US, and we would love some celebrities to participate !</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3 style="text-align:center"><strong>🎈Many bonuses</strong></h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>This documentary is first of all destined to the fan audience.

I was already a big litterature fan and, quickly, I&rsquo;ve developed a taste for thrills.</em></p> <p style="text-align:center"><em>While I was exploring the bookshelf of a small shop downtown, my father came and told me : &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve found something interesting if you want to scary yourself !&rdquo;.</em></p> <p style="text-align:center"><em>In one hand, he was holding Rosemary&#39;s baby. In the other hand, The Shining.</em></p> <p style="text-align:center"><em>He gave me The Shining and told me : &ldquo;With this book, you&rsquo;ll offer you some sleepless nights !&rdquo;</em></p> <p style="text-align:center"><em>At that time, funny fact, my father was working as a night caretaker in a big hotel !</em></p> <p style="text-align:center"><em>Then, I carried on with It and many other books, such as Misery and Carrie.</em></p> <p style="text-align:center"><em>Since, I never miss a release.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Discover Daphn&eacute; Baiwir incredible career :</strong>&nbsp;</p> <div class="k-ResponsiveIframeContainer"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" height="281" scrolling="no" src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FbC1xWxz5zwM%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;display_name=YouTube&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DbC1xWxz5zwM&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FbC1xWxz5zwM%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=8b7d8dd6504d41af9a77662672aabc2a&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" title="YouTube embed" width="500"></iframe></div> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/669518/sebastiencruz.061202-1591809119-1591870425.jpg" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Sebastien Cruz - The Producer</strong></p> <p style="text-align:center"><em>It&rsquo;s been ten years I work with Daphn&eacute; to produce her films, shorts and documentaries. Each time, she succeeds in making me passionate about her projects and ideas, and so we&rsquo;re working in close collaboration at each stage of the project&rsquo;s progress.&nbsp;</em></p> <p style="text-align:center"><em>My starting point with King&rsquo;s universe, like many, was into cinemas. Tim Curry gave me some nightmares at the time, when I was probably too young to watch It, and my love for cinema attracted me toward movies such as Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, Christine, Carrie, The Shining&hellip; Cult movies in cinema history, not especially stamped with King according to the audience.</em></p> <p style="text-align:center"><em>Finally, a few years ago, Daphn&eacute; helped me rediscover King&rsquo;s work, we watched every movie together again, and she lent me several books !</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3 style="text-align:center"><strong>The KoS community&nbsp;</strong></h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>We are building a wide community to support this project.

Allocation of funds

<p>It&rsquo;s been 8 months we&rsquo;re working on a full-time basis for this film.</p> <p>The actual crisis has postponed many things and has suspended this project for the next few months. We have taken this opportunity to build a large and great community, very active, and we need you to keep going on.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3 style="text-align:center"><strong>Why do we need support ?</strong></h3> <p><strong>To get credibility</strong></p> <p>First of all, to succeed an ambitious fundraising campaign is a very important criteria for other financing partners. To produce this ambitious film is a very expensive challenge, from 200 000&euro; to 300 000&euro;. Thus we need a strong support to raise this money, in particular in front of TV broadcasters and private sponsors.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Keep on creating content</strong></p> <p>We&rsquo;re already creating a lot of content, like exclusive bonuses. We plan to enlighten the shooting with Vlog and making-of videos. If we get independent, it&rsquo;s complicated to manage every step on our own, and many costs are linked to the content creation.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>To launch the project internationally&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>To make this film a reference, it has to go on the international stage ! Thus, we plan to communicate with English-speaking countries, in the largest King fan communities. Of course, we will keep sharing content for French-speakers. In any case, it&rsquo;s not that easy to launch such a project on the international stage.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
