I am the organizer of this fan based festival. I will be showing films inspired
by the works of PKDick, Heinlein , Bradbury and others. I am submitting a call for entries for films. We will be in New York November 9,10,11. We need all the support we can get. We can also link up with your site on our website.
Hello Michael,
I was a member of the P.K.D. Society, and in my search for information about Paul Williams I came across your site. Thank you for all your good works!
I had an advice question to ask about the content of specific P.K.D. works, and now I’m not sure who to direct it to. Any suggestions?
Peace,

Love PKD. Would it be possible to create a section on your site for all Dick stories that have been made into movies? I know there are actually quite a few, but I don’t know the whole list. Even IMDB doesn’t seem to be as helpful as it could be.
On this page https://www.philipdick.com/works-in-print/movies/ you can find all of the official adaptations from the novels and short stories of Philip K. Dick. Admittedly, the section needs some work and I plan on expanding it to works that appear to borrow ideas of Philip K. Dick but aren’t treated as official adaptations.
I am having difficulty finding a contact for the PKD trust. As an (unpublished writer) a short story writer. I would like to know if ‘Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep’ + ‘Blade Runner’ Grammar can be used in the body of my story. Terms Like Blade Runner; Iran; Replicant, Spinner, etc. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
