At one point in time this year, KT and the rest of SGP thought that there should be a contest for their upcoming movie "Pedestrian." The idea that was thought of was to have a music video/ movie trailer contest in which members could create their own story and make a video of it and put it to the test.
Personally, this contest was very very fun. There were a lot of entries, all of which were great. And since I was one of the judges, I couldn't participate. And quite frankly, I didn't want to since I was a judge....so I didn't. But many members wanted me to....so I ended up creating one that ended up being the "example" if you will. So in light of all this craziness....I wanted to post the trailer I had made for Pedestrian as a memento. :) And for those who don't know about the movie...I put the synopsis of it below the video.

Lincoln Booth is a successful rags-to-riches photographer.
He has the vision of a truly gifted artist.
He is young and handsome.
He is good with women.
He has a lump.
Confronted with mortality, and the realization that his world in New York is far from supportive, Lincoln decides to return home to North Carolina so he can reconcile a life he left at 15 years old.
But does he really have the nerve to go back?
Lincoln finds courage, and even better, a beautiful distraction, in the form of Mona Mills; a designer-label, Pedicab driving, human antidepressant. Mona, the embodiment of his over-active imagination, is in turn drawn to the mystery of Lincoln, and the challenge of cracking his self imposed isolation.
After a few chance encounters, and an undeniable spark, Lincoln invites Mona on a road trip to North Carolina; an invitation she readily accepts, although naïve to the excursions real motivation.
Their journey down the east coast is punctuated with colorful characters, shared vulnerability, and the hope of new possibilities. That is, until the true purpose of the trip surfaces.
Feeling used and discouraged, Mona heads back to New York, forcing Lincoln to face his weaknesses alone, and remedy the choices hes made; past and present.
Can he reestablish the family ties that were severed years ago?
Will he find a way to get Mona back?
Most importantly, does Lincoln have the strength to let down his guard and overcome his fears of love and reliance?
Touching and relevant, PEDESTRIAN reminds us that we all have what it takes to be more than just a nameless face in the crowd.
