Movies You Made: “Bookie”
For several months, I’ve been tagging a bunch of emails from filmmakers who have contacted me about their film projects, so I figured we should feature them this May. If you have a movie, either short-form or long, with which you were involved — writer, actor, director — please either email me or post details in comments. Happy to promote them on GITS.
Today we feature the short film Bookie from filmmaker Bao Tran. Background from Bao:
Hi Scott,
I’m sending you a short film I made to consider for “Movies You Made”, it’s called BOOKIE:
Like most shorts out there, it was a labor of love. It wasn’t easy making a noir period movie with musical numbers on a humble budget. Fortunately, we’ve had a great festival run and I hope you enjoy.
1-line synopsis: Set in 1963 Seattle, a gambling bookie risks everything for a waitress down on her luck.
Here is the movie:

Thanks, Bao, and good luck with your filmmaking projects.
Again if you have a film [or web] project you have been involved with and would like me to promote it on GITS, and I can embed it, email me or post details in comments.
May is Movies You Made month. Let’s celebrate your cinematic creativity!
