Talking Piece 

Logline: Jason is a well educated Midwestern transplant to Brooklyn who has set his sights on a career in public education. His wife, Julia, is climbing the corporate ladder. Sam and Hugo are two kids of color who have grown up in the cross fires of Brooklyn’s rapid and aggressive gentrification, of which Jason and Julia are a part. When they lock heads with their new principal, Jason, about some troubles they are having outside of school, a firestorm of stereotype and assumptions explodes with both humor and gravity.
