A rousing tale of the Korean athletes who ran the 1947 Boston International Marathon, the first international marathon held since World War II.

Character decisions, narrative turns and plenty of conflict. CHOKER is a short film about many things. Best watched standing.

As Michael attempts suicide with gas, he looks back at his unremarkable life with despair and resentment. His suicide is put on hold for the day with the sudden arrival of Garry, who drags Michael against his will on a mountain bike adventure. On their journey, Michael must face the perils of the trail ahead while also dealing with the constant goading and derision from his reckless and competitive friend to keep riding harder and faster.
