IMDB

Dan and Kevin, longtime friends, adjust to their evolving surroundings in the community of Flatbush, Brooklyn. A raw comedy of city life, this prize-winning short served as the foundation for what became the critically-acclaimed Showtime series, Flatbush Misdemeanors. Made on zero-budget, the first installment of Flatbush became Oscar-qualified after winning Grand Jury Awards in its film festival run. Critics have called it "funny, smart, inventive and constantly surprising" and "street-level filmmaking at its finest."
