“I Know What You Need” is a Stephen King horror twist on the classic after-school at the SDCC Film Festival
The “Dollar Baby” was an arrangement in which iconic author Stephen King would grant permission to students aspiring filmmakers theater producers to adapt one of his short stories for just $1. King retains the rights to his work, but as he began to experience commercial success, he decided to use his platform to help the next generation of creatives. When the program’s overseer retired the program came to an end and Julia Marchese was one of the final recipients. She has taken the film to festivals around the world and has earned more than 15 awards. Now Stephen King and horror fans can see it at San Diego Comic-Con 2024!
“I Know What You Need” will have its Comic-Con debut at their film festival section on Friday, July 26 at 1:45 PM in Grand Ballroom 6 at the San Diego Marriott Marquis. If you are unable to attend the screening at SDCC horror fans can watch it on ArrowPlayer the streaming home to cult cinema.
