Topic: Fulfillment [2009 re-release]
I am posting this film for the second time (apologies if you've seen it before) because I want to share some exciting news about it. I entered this in the 2009 LETU (LeTourneau University) Film Festival, and it won Best Picture (for a $400 prize)! This was fantastic for a number of reasons, of course, but one reason is that it shows that a Brickfilm can still succeed (and even be called the "best") among several/many live action films. I've found in most cases that festivals shy away from selecting brickfilms as winners, perhaps because the judges are afraid the live action filmers will suspect a conspiracy or something. But not so in this case! I am very glad that Fulfillment succeeded in this way, and I wish all of you well in your own ventures in festival submissions.
Note: The film is posted below in its originally scored state. I had to re-score it with royalty free music for the aforementioned festival, but as I prefer the original soundtrack (by Coldplay), that is the version available online.
Another Note: I know many of you prefer watching films on Youtube; however, this particular film could not be there due to video/audio syncing difficulties. Upon my upload to Youtube, the [intentional] black spaces in the film were removed, and the audio track continued, off-sync from the video. I therefore removed the video from Youtube and made download links available. I apologize for any inconvenience.

Film plot: A businessman contemplates befriending a homeless teenager, but before he can summon the courage, he finds himself in need of a friend. Both characters find fulfillment at the end of this touching LEGO film set in the inner city.
