00:00All right, so, ready to dive into something really, uh, really interesting.

00:04We're looking at King Street.

00:05Okay.

00:06And it's a short film, nominated for Best Drama.

00:09Wow.

00:10Which is a pretty big deal, right?

00:11Yeah.

00:12In the indie film world.

00:13Absolutely.

00:14So, we've got, um, we've got kind of the royal treatment here, we've got excerpts from the

00:17synopsis, we've got the director's statement.

00:19Okay.

00:20And we've even got some notes from the judges.

00:22Oh.

00:23At the festival, so.

00:24Ooh, juicy.

00:25Yeah.

00:26So this is King Street, and it's, it seems like it's, um, creating a buzz.

00:30Yeah, it seems like it, it deals with some really, um, pertinent themes.

00:34Addiction, sobriety, and displacement.

00:36Yeah, and looking at the synopsis here, we've got these two characters, um, we've got Sam,

00:42who is a young person who is, um, living on the streets, struggling, and then we have

00:47Jason, who is a professional, seems to have it all together.

00:50Right.

00:51So very different worlds that are colliding in this film.

00:53Right, and it sounds like the, the way that they collide is based on a real life encounter.

00:57Oh.

00:58Yeah, the director, Chuck Schieffer, he's, he mentions that he based it on something

01:02that happened to him at a train station in Seattle.

01:05Wow, so he's bringing, like, real life experience into this.

01:09Yeah.

01:10That's really interesting.

01:11Yeah, it adds a certain level of authenticity to it, and he even mentions that he has this

01:15whole backstory figured out for Sam, and he'd love to explore it if he ever got the chance

01:19to make King Street into a feature length film.

01:21Oh, wow.

01:22So he's already thinking ahead.

01:24That's great.

01:26I always love it when, you know, a director has that bigger picture in mind.

01:29Right.

01:30But, um, yeah, I mean, the judges were really, like, captivated by this film.

01:35They said it was fresh and engaging the way that it explored these really complex themes

01:41of addiction and sobriety.

01:43And they were also really impressed by the soundtrack.

01:45Oh, yeah.

01:46Yeah, they said it really heightened the emotional impact.

01:48Oh, I can see that.

01:49Because, like, when you think about those themes, addiction and sobriety, they're so

01:52internal, right?

01:53And to have music kind of underscore and really kind of bring that out, that makes a lot of

01:57sense.

01:58Yeah.

01:59It seems like he uses the music really effectively.

02:00Yeah.

02:01But this is only an 18-minute film, and it sounds like it is really, you know, packin'

02:05a punch.

02:06Yeah.

02:07And this idea that maybe we'll get a feature film someday.

02:10Right.

02:11Imagine, like, what would he do with, you know, two hours to tell the story?

02:16Right.

02:17Would he go into Sam's backstory?

02:19Yeah.

02:21How would that, like, change the overall message?

02:23Right, right.

02:24So many things to consider.

02:25Yeah.
