It's full of conferences, music, seminars, and other events. It's also full of a multitude if techies in town for the event. So, how do you deal with a huge need for connectivity, and a large population of homeless people at the same time? You make them Wi-Fi hotspots!

Some desirable. Others? Not so much. The skins smasher is declared mad. He is described as looking like the devil. It is said that he is what the drums are all about. He is christened a lovable rogue and the world’s greatest drummer. How’s that for polarizing? He is certainly a lot of different things to a lot of people.

"Mario" is a trailer-length short which filmmaker Joe Nicolosi doesn't intend to turn into a feature film. You can check out all two minutes of the project below.
