Video Interview: @ThisFunktional talks with KING OF GAMES' Writer-Director talks about this complex story, emotions

Jesus Figueroa, @ThisFunktional of ThisFunktional.com, talks with writer-director Tyler Cino-Maradiaga about short KING OF GAMES, having its west coast premiere on June 22 at Dances with Films’ Fusion Shorts Block 2. King of Games is a domestic drama and a late 1990s period piece that places the audience in the perspective of an eight-year-old, Hector, on the day he moves out of his home. Right before he and his family need to leave, he realizes he lost his prized deck of “King of Games” cards - a game based on his favorite television show. As he begins to search his home and interacts with members of his multigenerational household, from his edgy rocker older brother to his faith-loving great-abuela, the audience discovers this is not just any ordinary move, but that this is the final time this family will be together as his parents are getting divorced.
