Untitled Jersey City Project is a unique experiment in the development of an entertainment concept: it’s a work-in-progress television drama. The eight mini episodes are small pieces from a larger story. Here’s a brief synopsis:
The story is set in the Jersey City waterfront, across the river from Manhattan. A shining new city is being built on the edge of this gritty town. But while the glass office towers and condos are sleek and new, the rules of the game haven’t changed one bit.
Episode 1
Up-and-coming architect Frank awakes to a cryptic call from Ray and races to the construction site to see his partner lying dead in a pool of blood. This is the new Jersey City but unfortunately for Frank, the old rules are still the same.
Episode 2
Sometimes bad press is JUST bad press. Frank and Ray meet with The Ledger reporter Jane Kaplan to discuss her not so favorable feature on their troubled Waterfront Stadium Project.
Characters
Frank George & Ray Rahne - owners of a small, progressive architecture office in New York City.
Larry Tyerman - A notorious developer and bare-knuckle negotiator
Philip Haney - Jersey City’s progressive, hybrid-driving young city councilmanAnd his Tony Hello - Haney’s driver who is a hulking figure
Jane Kaplan - a staff writer at The Ledger whose femme fatale looks are second only to her naked ambition.
