As many of you already know, we’ve launched a new film initiative entitled INTERPRETATIONS to support aspiring filmmakers. In a nutshell, you make a short film of no more than 3 minutes using the same script we provide (get all the info here). To help us launch, we commissioned several filmmaker friends to make their own shorts using our script and we’ll be featuring each one of them here (including a few words from the filmmakers themselves).

Today we present Rumble by actor Ken Leung (Miles on Lost). We wanted to do something special for our recent INTERPRETATIONS Film Panel in New York and what better idea than a new short by a native New Yorker featuring the city he loves:

FILMMAKER’S STATEMENT
I was invited to submit a film just as I was leaving Hawaii and returning home to New York. After Lost, the premise of creating a story around four lines without context felt familiar. The idea for a subway story came from a driver in Hawaii, who once declared that, if he ever visited New York, he would never go underground to take the subway. Rumble is an ode to NYC, the MTA, and friends who do things for you just because you ask.

KEN

Ken Leung is an actor. His film and television work include HBO’s Sopranos, ABC’s Lost, and Showtime’s Sucker Free City directed by Spike Lee. Rumble is his first film as a director.
