URBANLAND
(Drama, Crime, suspense)
Rated R
“Six Degrees of Separation” Meets “Arbitrage”
Logline:
When an arrogant socialite hires a floundering black teacher for her charter school, they meet a Dominican ‘pupil’ whose artistic talent so stirs their frustrated ambitions, that when thugs threaten the ex-criminal’s life, they risk their own to free him.
Synopsis:
But as Vanderbilt eyes his unsuspecting target, as his trembling hand raises the gun, he realizes that he’s killing for more than just a brilliant, misguided orphan. He’s freeing Hector’s wife and child from a vicious street crew and himself from a numbing loneliness.
URBANLAND is a drama in the mold of SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION, tracing the exploits of the frustrated writer/hustler from his Fifth Avenue sexual conquests to the Dominican couple who changes his life. Only problem.is, the plan to save the painter may not be enough.
