Max Blaska (writer/producer) THE LAST RUNG ON THE LADDER
Max Blaska is a filmmaker and mental health advocate from Madison WI. He made this film as a tribute to his aunt who introduced him to Stephen King and taught him not to be ashamed of mental illness. It has played at the Door County Short Film Festival. He is the writer & producer of the Stephen King Dollar Baby film, THE LAST RUNG ON THE LADDER.
"STEPHEN KING DOLLAR BABY:The Book - In the late 1970s, Stephen King had the idea of selling his short stories for ONE DOLLAR and a contract to let young filmmakers make their own films based on his works. After King's approval, these films were only available for viewing at film festivals around the world. For the last forty-plus years and over hundreds of films made, The Dollar Baby program has made a serious impact not only on the Stephen King world, but the film industry itself.
Unfortunately, for Stephen King fans, unless you attended these film festivals, you basically would never be able to see them. In fact, most Stephen King fans have never even heard of the Dollar Baby program. Well, that's where I come in. I have been interviewing Dollar Baby filmmakers and reviewing their films for eight years. During that time, not only have I also hosted two Dollar Baby Film fests at Crypticon Horror Con in Minnesota, but I also built a trust, a bond, and a friendship with all of the Dollar Baby community.
As a major Stephen King fan, I decided it was time to pull the curtain back and show the fans just what they have been missing. In this book, readers will learn all about the Dollar Baby program, fun facts, trivia, personal stories from the fans themselves, special guests contributors, essays, Where Are They Now?, 55 exclusive interviews with the Dollar Baby filmmakers and reviews of their films, and a whole lot more! I cover every possible angle of the Dollar Baby program and it's all here to enjoy! So, sit back, relax, and get ready to go behind the exclusive curtain and prepare yourselves to enter...Stephen King Dollar Baby: The Book!
STEPHEN KING DOLLAR BABY:The Sequel -
In January of 2021, I brought Stephen King Constant Reader into the world of the Stephen King Dollar Baby Program and universe, pulling back the curtain to show fans a part of King's world that very few get to see or know about. For over 40 years, filmmakers around the world have brought their visions to the big screen in the form of a 'dolla baby' to share their love for Stephen King by adapting his short stories all for one dollar and a signed contract. Now, Anthony Northrup takes you past the curtain and into the deepest depths of the Stephen King Dollar Baby universe with in depth exclusive interviews with Dollar Baby directors, cast & crew members, and fans of King's works (Constant Readers and celebrities alike). The Sequel also shares exclusive information of how these films are made, stories from the set, and the future of the Dollar Baby Program and a whole lot more! This book leaves no stone unturned or should I say "no film unturned" and brings you full circle to the world known as "dollar baby." In traditional sequel fashion, STEPHEN KING DOLLAR BABY:The Sequel is bigger, better, and leaving you wanting more!"
