A little inspiration, a lot of film

We all have our favorite movies that were based on books we've loved.  We are used to that idea.  I've spent a lot of time talking with several of you over the last few weeks about short stories.  I think short stories are often forgotten about.  Yet, there are so many wonderful stories out there that have a whole lot of inspiration, excitement, heart, and wit.  In fact, many short stories have also been used to launch films.
Emily Temple at LitHub did a great post this week about some of the best story to film transitions.  I think her list needs to include the 2017 film Arrival based on Ted Chiang's short story in this collection.  And of course, the genius Christopher Nolan film Memento based on his brother's short story that was published in Esquire.  And definitely, the remarkable Daphne du Maurier, whose short story became Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds is a must mention as well.

The great thing about reading short stories is the time investment is small, they are short after all, while the content is phenomenal.
