If this thing had more footage, I bet it could be released in movie theaters. “Untitled Jersey City Project” is a series of short fragments from a larger story, with many of the story threads left unresolved. But from these eight episodes, this much is clear:
This gripping story is set amidst the fast-developing Jersey City waterfront, just 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. But the fancy Audi A6 that is used extensively in the driving scenes have. That car is sexy!
There are eight episodes that are about 2-minutes each in length, which lends itself for easy viewing. Think of it as a riveting work-in-progress television drama where everyone here has something to gain – money, fame, power. Or they can lose big. Or they could end up dead.
In episode 1, our hero, up-and-coming architect Frank George, is woken up by a cryptic call from partner Ray Rahne and races to the construction site to see his partner lying dead in a pool of blood. Someone pushed him off the building. Why is he dead? Who killed him? The city is new, but the old rules haven’t changed.
