The Project Trailer (ft. Juelz Santana)

Justin Stager and Dana Murphy, white, young, and naive, move to

Brooklyn to make a documentary about inner city life. The film takes a

media-immersion approach: Dana follows inner city youths, Justin films

NYPD officers on patrol, and John Healy, a hired cinematographer,

documents the filmmakers.


The focus of Dana’s story is Thomas Coventry, a 15-year-old black

youth trying to navigate his way through his strained family and

social life. Thomas is poised to move up from the hardships of ghetto

life, but his volatile friend, Nate, who is hell bent on stealing the

spotlight, is keeping Thomas down.


Surrounded by violence and drugs, nothing comes easy to Thomas in the

dangerous environment he calls home. On the flipside, Justin documents

the everyday lives of NYPD officers Dan Masterson and his partner Alex

Mora. Masterson is a seemingly good cop who puts his life on the line

everyday.
