Mashable’s Sam Haysom spoke with Kevin Philips, a teacher at the Blaenau Gwent Film Academy in Wales where the kids study film. Contacting and setting up the contract with King and his team was pretty easy, according to Philips. “We pretty much e-mailed his secretary, Margaret, and she came back to us in 24 hours, and we told her what we wanted to do, that it’s not for profit, that our students would be making it, and she sent us a contract through which was signed by Stephen King himself,” Phillips told Mashable.

According to Schaub, the students hope to complete production on the film next spring, and submit to a few festivals. King specifically asks that any one who adapts his short stories send him a DVD of the finished movie. During his interview with Mashable, Philips said: “They insist that we send him a copy. That was part of the contract — Stephen always loves to see the work and please send him a DVD when it’s all complete.”
