Here’s the official trailer for Steven Caple Jr.’s The Land that played at SIFF 2016 this weekend.
Executive Produced by Nasir “Nas” Jones, The Land is about four skateboarding teenagers looking for a way out of Cleveland. The film stars Jorge Lendenborg Jr., Moises Arias (Kings of Summer), Rafi Gavron (Snitch), Machine Gun Kelly, Ezri Walker, Erykah Badu, Kim Coates, and Michael Kenneth Williams.
Teenage buddies Cisco, Boobie, Junior, and Patty Cake skateboard the streets of Cleveland, Ohio, dreaming of getting discovered by a sponsor and skating their way out of poverty. That is until the boys discover a bag full of pills in the back of a stolen car. Cisco’s entrepreneurial instincts take over, and in a flash their lives get better. But no one counted on having to come face to face with the cold, calculating, and notorious drug queenpin, “Momma,” who runs the toughest gang in town.
The Land opens in theaters July 29th and VOD August 4th.
