Official synopsis Publisher
★★★★★ “This has all the right elements to be a classic urban love story.” – Reader Review
__________
Soondie Slaton, owner of a thriving niche shop in New York City’s SoHo district, partners up with a business-savvy long-lost cousin who is more like a brother than a cousin.
Surrounded by adoring and supportive friends, and the object of affection from the most desired girl from around the way. However, the world of young Soon Sun seems to be eclipsed in darkness.
Granted, he has suffered his fair share of tragedies, yet his life seems to be heading in the right direction these days.
Still, he can’t shake the feeling that there is the other proverbial shoe waiting to drop.
Then, on the eve of his 27th birthday, Soondie expects the dreaded doom to arrive.
It doesn’t, much to his dismay. Over the course of the year, he slowly learns the tenet of life: that it may not be just, but it’s fair. Soondie experiences losses and gains in equal measure, as he might have expected.
The question is, does that give him cause to check out?
The decision is his, despite what he may be led to believe. Shadows of the past shape who we are and can hold us back. We move forward while standing still.
27 Yards An’ Runnin’… is the story of a young man wondering what his life means and where it is going.
Running on equal parts optimism, fatalism, cynicism and wonder, we navigate Soondie’s world, love and life.
Follow young Soon as he narrates his story- current and past, set to a diverse soundtrack and projected upon with stylized images and enriched atmosphere.
The closer he comes to reconciliation, the closer he’s met with what he believes as an impasse.
