Hi everybody! Here is the video on The Shining! This one was really difficult to make (as you might imagine). I really wanted to do something on the script/story despite the semi-recent Lessons From The Screenplay video. I hope that this video isn't too similar to some of the other ones out there. I found a ton of great information on the writing process and tried to trace it from development through production. I'm thinking about doing a Part 2 on just my analysis of the story structure. We'll see if there is sufficient interest. Enjoy!

Thanks so much for your continued support!

What was it like to collaborate with Kubrick on this screenplay? How did the movie wind up so different than Stephen King’s original novel? How close did they stick to the screenplay during production? What were Kubrick’s thoughts on horror? All that and more on this episode of Making Film...
