Directed by Saamad Harrell / Executive Produced by Darien Woodard
The film discusses gun violence juxtaposed against its ideological effects. Such subject matter was very popular in the 1990s with “hood films.” Therefore, this film takes great inspiration from films like Belly, Boyz N the Hood, Menace II Society, and Friday.
Log-line: After losing his best friend to gun violence, a young man finds an unlikely mentor in a
pistol-toting wildcard.
Nazir, a black male 14-17, in mourning and detached from the world after losing his best friend
to gun violence. He is stubborn and seeks to be independent while also being naive to the
environment he navigates and the feelings he is experiencing.
Stunna, a black male 20-24, who is a reckless wildcard. He wears his heart on sleeve, as well as
his pride and ego. Experiencing the death of his own brother has hardened him, made him
vigilant, and made him careless enough to throw his life away at a moment’s notice.
Debbie, a black female 35-45, who is an overprotective mother. She wants to protect her son
from the dangers of the world, but must realize that her son must fight his own battles.
Jah, a black male 20-24, a chill and laid back guy who co-signs his best friend’s shenanigans
against his better judgment.
Keisha, a black female 20-24, who knows who she is and what she wants and does not let
anyone get over on her.
Jaliyah<, a black female 20-24, sweet and loving and also talkative and playful.
Zack, a black male 20-24, serious and stern, not entertained by street culture or its politics.
Willie, a black male 20-24.
