Award Winning Film - Validation

Validation is a short story of the ‘magic of free parking.’ A love story about a man who can bring a smile to everybody, well almost everybody. And when he fails to make a woman smile, he takes on the challenge with unexpected consequences.

Starring TJ Thyne & Vicki Davis, written by J. Spurlin and directed by Kurt Kuenne.

This film has won numerous awards including Best Narrative Short, from Cleveland International Film Festival, Jury Award, from the General Art Chicago Film Festival, and the Best Short Comedy, Breckenridge Festival of Film, (just to name a few).

A cheerful parking attendant considers it his job to do more than validate parking. He wants to validate the customers themselves, delivering compliments about their appearances and the inner qualities behind them.

Everyone who comes up to him with a ticket walks away validated as a worthwhile human being.

Soon, the parking attendant becomes so popular that people line up for validation. He appears on news broadcasts and even ends up validating George W. Bush and Saddam Hussein.

But his life hits a roadblock when he goes to the DMV to get his driver's license photo taken and is met with a beautiful photographer whom he can't get to smile.
