Happy Sunday, everyone. And for those celebrating in the States, Happy Labor Day weekend.
In this edition of Coffee & Content, I have two videos I believe you'll find most informative. First up, it's Stanley Kubrick and The Shining. It's well documented that Stephen King was not on board with Kubrick's adaptation of his epic novel. In this video we see how and why Kubrick made his choices in what he included, expanded upon and what he left behind.
Next up, a look at the first season of True Detective, widely hailed by many as a masterclass in character development and storytelling. The video below explores how those characters became so richly drawn.
Hope you enjoy the content. As always, I ask you to hit those share buttons above and push this content around the interwebs so others can benefit as well. Give to live!
Have a great rest of the weekend.
Cheers.

Our one and only fearless leader, RB, will be on site all weekend doing Q&As with the filmmakers after their screenings. We always strive to put our filmmakers in the best possible positions for success and being able to screen Lisanne's film to this festival filled with festival directors and do a Q&A is really exciting.
Joel Coen, Ethan Coen, T Bone Burnett
On Saturday, November 18, after our lineup of films, Joel and Ethan Coen will be interviewing Oscar-winner T Bone Burnett on stage to talk about their decades long filmmaker / composer relationship on films such as O Brother Where Art Thou and Inside Llewyln Davis.
