Big Three is a short fiction film set in the early 1960s that features a day in the life and behind the scenes operations of a budding Philly soul label called Big Three Records. The 15 year old protagonist RONNY, a shy aspiring musician with a speech impediment, spends the day with fellow teens as part of a focus group organized by the label to offer feedback on the latest musical talent. Ronny initially struggles to express himself in the focus group despite being impressed by the artists in front of him. When prompted to speak, he stays silent for fear of embarrassment. Hoping to find a sense of belonging in this innovative world of music, he is spotted secretly playing guitar during a lunch break, impressing one of the older musicians who urges Ronny to write songs and come back and play the next day. Inspired by a feeling of acceptance, Ronny begins to open up more in the focus group, revealing his insight and demonstrating a deep connection to music. In accepting the opportunity to play at Big Three, Ronny discovers that he not only belongs in this world, but also that his unique voice can help shape it.
