Cover page of Stephen King’s novel, The Shining. This early copy, which Kubrick received before the novel was published, has a different title - “THE SHINE” - than what King ultimately used.
The page is filled with copious notes from Kubrick, including early ideas for alternate endings, as well as some thoughts about Wendy’s character and why she’s stayed with Jack despite his many problems.
Eddie Mullins (director of Doomsdays) and I stopped by the home of an old Kingston man named Barry, to check it out as a possible location for the film. Barry welcomed us in quietly, as if he was expecting us, and didn’t seem disturbed in the least that we were wandering around his home; he…

“Dear Filmmaker, The 16th Annual Palm Springs International ShortFest & Film Market this year received over 3,000 submissions for consideration.

Aqualung (feat. Sara Bareilles) “Remember Us”. I found this song a few days before I started editing and I loved it. I didn’t planned to use it but somehow made me try it on and the cues of the song are like made perfectly to fit the mood of that particular scene.

Superlitio “Te Lastime” (Piano Version). I couldn’t find this version of the song in YouTube so I put here the best version of the song but I couldn’t use it so I found an amazing version which is shorter and more romantic. I have been always fan of Superlitio and this song is one of the best they have done.
