Your Daily Dose of Dopamine_565
We’re talking with Paul Inman, Director & Writer of That Feeling, an official Stephen King Dollar Baby. For those who don’t know, Dollar Babies are films made from Stephen King short stories with his permission. This program started back in the late 1970’s and ended in December 2023. After relatively few being made between the program’s start and the early 2000’s, the program exploded in popularity. According to Oscar Garrido, who runs the website Stephen King Short Movies (https://www.stephenkingshortmovies.com/movies/dollar-baby/), there are several hundred known made by filmmakers around the world. Robert met Paul at the first-ever KingCon in late October 2024 in Las Vegas, NV. This is a multi-part interview.Â

Susan is a woman who was diagnosed with PD in 2015. They’ve both made award-winning films about their experiences with PD and are now co-founders of the non-profit, YAX! – www.yesandexercise.com.
The mission of YAX! is to provide a safe, fun and kind place for people with and affected by Parkinson’s disease to connect, empower and enhance their lives through improvisation.
That’s right: improvisation. We play – mostly online so we can get as many people as we can from as many places as we can. We do not charge. We do accept donations from those who wish to pay it forward.Â
Robert earned his PhD from the Interdisciplinary Health Sciences program at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. He is researching the effect of improvisation on PD and the results of his clinical trials can be found at his website, www.yesandexercise.org.Â
