The SHU

The SHU indie movie

Title: The SHU
Genre: Crime, Coming of Age

Mac (Vietnamese) and Butternut (Black) are adolescent best friends, who live in a rough neighborhood in Richmond, VA.  They enjoy playing basketball, munching on eggrolls at Mac’s family’s Vietnamese takeout, and watching the evening news together, preferably ABC News with Peter Jennings.  When Mac’s older brother is murdered, Butternut and Mac mistakenly send an innocent stranger to prison.

Sixteen years later, the former friends reunite and try to free the innocent man, who is still stuck in solitary confinement.  To accomplish this, they will need to confront their former bully and find the actual murderer.

estimated budget: $550,000

Hey Jimmy, I came to your site to see what’s new. I’ve been MIDI-programming my Moog Voyager synth. If you need a custom track sometime that’s in the neighborhood of Daft Punk “Homework” and Giorgio Morodor’s “Cat People” albums (or instead could be atmospheric and ambient instead) then let’s talk (need 2 months advanced notice).

What’s up Eric? Thanks for thinking of me. Hopefully, I’ll be making an indie movie soon and we’ll collaborate again. How are you doing?
