The Ledge producer Michael Mailer has teamed with Hank Blumenthal to produce an inspired-by-true-events period drama, The Walk, with Daniel Adams attached to direct from a script he co-wrote with George Powell. The screenplay was originated by Powell, a former drug dealer whom Adams discovered while he was incarcerated. Upon his release, Powell turned to screenwriting and The Walk will mark his first produced script.
The story centers on Boston Irish cop Bill Coughlin as he is faced with his own suppressed racist attitude and fierce social pressure after being assigned to protect black high school students as they are bused into all-white South Boston High during the court-ordered forced integration of the Boston School System in 1974, which resulted in brutal violence and city-wide protests.

I've got a seriously amazing short film for you to watch today called 1982. The film centers on a blocked novelist who is reflecting on "a pivotal year in his life when he struggled for the attention of his bickering parents." It's a beautifully shot film, and I love the transitions from one scene to the next. The story did a solid job at tugging on my emotional strings as well. I really hope that you take the time to watch this incredible short. You won't be sorry.
The short was directed by Jeremy Breslau and was shot by Hollywood camera operator Frank Buono, who has worked with filmmakers such as Spike Jonze and Michael Bay. He's also the guy who designed and shot the incredible long take sequences in Children Of Men. Thanks to Twitch for the tip!
