Synopsis
Off Jackson Avenue is an interwoven crime story set in
New York City involving a Mexican woman (Jessica Pimentel)
who has been tricked into sex-slavery by an Albanian pimp
(Stivi Paskoski) and must find a way to break out;
A Japanese hit man (Jun Suenaga) who is in town to do a job for the Chinese mob and must finish his assignment despite the fact that he is haunted by his recently-dead mother's ghost;
And a local car-thief (John-Luke Montias) who must go on one last stealing spree to raise enough money to buy a tire store and go legit. A smack-bang tale of ambition, survival and fate,
Off Jackson Avenue reminds us that there are still some parts of New York City that you won't find on any map.
Written and Directed by John-Luke Montias.
Music Composed and Performed by Ed Tomney.
Producer: Michiel Pilgram.
