todaysshort

At a raucous soul R&B nightclub in 1963, crowds from all over Seattle gather for a chance at alcohol, wild music, and easy money. Amidst it all, a gambling bookie risks everything he has for a waitress down on her luck. This 20-minute short directed by Quoc Bao Tran recalls early Scorsese/Spike Lee. Nothing distinctive or groundbreaking, but still very precisely executed. Check it out.
