Uh oh! First time ever, the Boxster won't start!

I'm actually amazed that something like this hasn't happened yet seeing as how much I drive it.
Went out this morning, and cranks but won't start. Seems to crank slow and uneven. Video below.

And I know cranking it that much is bad for it, but it started trying to catch so I wanted to see what it would do. The squeal is the starter which always makes that noise in cold weather.
It's not unusually cold, 35 degrees F, and it was starting and running perfectly fine yesterday. Hopefully it's nothing timing chain or IMS related. My first thought is fuel, and something like the crank position sensor.
Any ideas? Thanks guys!

PS: got out the other Boxster and took it to the Cars and Coffee to see how many would brave the cold....

Parked next to my friend's all original 1960 Electra 225.

And someone brought a new GT3!




And something you don't see every day. A Triumph Dolomite sedan.
