Check it out. Writer/director Tran Quoc Bao's short film Bookie is now available for viewing online. Set in 1963 Seattle, and presented in stark black and white, it tells the tale of a gambling bookie who risks everything for a beautiful waitress down on her luck.
I caught this film on the festival circuit a while back, and it was easily one of the strongest shorts I saw that year. Give yourself twenty minutes to take a look, and enjoy. For more information about the film, and for high-quality downloads, visit the Bookie website here.
