This short film was written and directed by Kurt Kuenne. It is about a cheerful parking attendant who considers it his job to do more than validate parking. He wants to validate the customers themselves, by 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 and happy 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. 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.
This movie has played at 34 film festivals worldwide and won 17 awards.
This short film inspired me because even through it is filmed in black and white and has quite a slow pace it has a good message and highlights the good things in life instead of the bad.
