Untitled Knicks Short
New York City
Project Details
"UNTITLED KNICKS SHORT" is a two part New York short film shooting immediately — with a release date locked to a real world event happening right now. A lifelong New York Knicks fan crosses paths with a mysterious street figure outside Madison Square Garden who delivers a warning he cannot ignore and cannot fully believe. What follows is a collision between iron skepticism and undeniable evidence — a conversation that forces one ordinary New York man to weigh the most personal sacrifice of his life against consequences that extend far beyond himself. Shot on the streets of New York during one of the most historic moments in the city's recent sports history, "UNTITLED KNICKS SHORT" is a dark comedy grounded in real New York energy — specific, funny, and quietly devastating underneath. The film is small in scale and enormous in stakes. Two characters. Real locations. We are looking for two actors who can make something completely real out of something completely New York.
