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”
