FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MAINE PRODUCTION COMPANIES BONFIRE FILMS AND DARK FARM FILMS
TO BRING STEPHEN KING SHORT STORY TO THE BIG SCREEN
Maine based production companies
Bonfire Films and Dark Farm Films have teamed up to bring the work of author
Stephen King back to his home state.
This year, the two companies will adapt King’s short story One for the
Road, filming it in the areas that King intended the dark tale to unfold; the
Maine towns of Falmouth, Windham and Cumberland, better known to the literary
world as Jerusalem’s Lot (Salem’s Lot).
Corey Norman, director of the wildly successful independent feature, The
Hanover House, is set to direct, while Jenny Anastasoff, of the Damnationland
hit Sui Generis and Haley Norman of The Hanover House are set to produce. Being huge King fans, the group hopes to
create a true love letter to the work of the author, while showcasing the state
that has brought them so much inspiration.
Look for the film when it hits festivals later this year.
“If you believe the only master of horror and suspense to
come out of the great state of Maine is Stephen King, then you haven’t seen
anything by Corey Norman.”
- Creepercast
“Director and co-writer Corey Norman brings a Stephen
King-style to an indie horror audience like only a Maine-native can do.”
- HorrorHound Magazine
Synopsis
Based on the short story by Stephen
King, One for the Road follows two aging Mainers, Booth and Herb “Tookey"
Tooklander, as they attempted to rescue the family of a motorist, whose vehicle
had become stranded in a ferocious blizzard.
Unfortunately for everyone involved, the car just happens to be stranded
in Salem’s Lot.
