TWO FIFTHS

A founding father of the United States of America is cursed by one of his brutalized slaves the night he signed the US Constitution and Three-Fifth's clause in 1787.

Hundreds of years later, a random group of strangers including a genealogist, gritty metro cop, and presidential candidate, change races coincidentally after the passing of a controversial law.

A mind blowing, shocking, and ruthless quest for the answers. What they have in common is much more surprising than their differences.

Writer Statement

I’ve always been a fan of the complex characters we’ve all seen in shows like "The Sopranos", “Grey’s Anatomy”, and “The Wire” (I know, a unique mix). I fell in love, however, with dramatic storylines while watching the scene from “Heat” in which Al Pacino and Robert DiNero sat down for coffee while playing a serious game of cops and robbers.

I want people to wonder about the characters after the credits roll like I wonder why in the world Neil didn’t get on that plane when he had the clean getaway.
