Tomsk schoolgirl Diana Kostyrina bought the right to film the story of the American writer Stephen King for $ 1, writes "Lenta.ru".
A 16-year-old schoolgirl plans to shoot a short film based on the story “Woman in the Room” and present her at the international festival Dollar Baby Russia in the fall of 2020 in Krasnodar.
Kostyrina is already the author of several short films. She plans to implement a new project together with the Siberian Workshops cinema club.
According to the schoolgirl, they intend to slightly change the ending and make it more optimistic, "so that there is no such heavy residue that remains after reading the story."

The rights to the adaptation of the story were purchased under the Dollar Baby program - within its framework, Stephen King for $ 1 shares his copyright with schoolchildren and film students so that they can film his work.
