Production Description

Casting "From Suspect To Prospect," a inspirational stage play based on the autobiography of Adrian Collins that will be filmed. Project description: After two months of his release from jail, Adrian Collins (aka A-G), a well-known gangster from Plainfield, NJ, gets shot 5 times from behind and then sentenced to five years back in prison. When he goes to East Jersey State Prison lock-up, A-G receives seven letters and gets a reality check while reading the first letter sent from his old head named Goldy, the leader of their street gang currently serving a 27-year sentence in the same prison. Once Goldy tells him a long-time enemy wrote a book based on their old war stories, A-G takes a trip down memory lane which causes him to reflect on his life and what he’s been through. After a spiritual awakening and reality sets in, A-G then becomes inspired to write life story From Suspect To Prospect, however, that one book turns into 3 books in four months.
