Synopsis:
Osi is a nice guy trying to do the right thing and protect his girlfriend Alyssa from the day to day life of being addicted to drugs. He is friends with Reggie the toughest guy and girlfriend stealer in a neighborhood of North St. Louis. Alyssa quickly sends their already troubled lives down a rabbit hole of betrayal when she falls into Reggie's trap.

The film is a look at an inner city community where words are rarely used to solve problems. Enough killing! What if we walked away instead of fighting when there’s conflict .

Mr. Coleman recently won best short film at the 2012 Charlotte Black Film Festival with his film “Osi” which addresses walking away from violence in urban communities. The film was shot in Kevin’s old neighborhood in north St. Louis, an area struggling with black on black gang violence.
