Desc: The Project: Directed by Ryan Piotrowicz. With T.J. Allen, Tony Terrell Alston, Bilal Bishop, Michael Ciesla. Three first-time filmmakers, Justin, Dana and John set out to make a documentary about the hardships of inner-city life. Justin follows two NYPD officers while Dana and John focus on Thomas (a black youth poised to move up from his hardships). Stories merge, relationships corrode and the filmmakers become participants in the underground world they set out to document.
