We sincerely reminisce about Stephen King’s “Stand By Me” and discuss:

Cinematography, rule of thirds;
Story & Writing, coming of age stories, friendship, facing your own mortality;
and other such stuff and things and stuff.

“That’s the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear.“ – from Stephen King’s novella “The Body”
