He doesn't live in the best of neighborhoods and his only other real friend is his girlfriend Tracey. Yet through a series of events (with help from a particular entity) Terrell not only manages to cope, he thrives. His next accomplishment lies at his fingertips, as he receives a partial acceptance letter from an HBCU. Only catch, he has to tell them why they should accept him. With what seems like a simple task, the unexpected loss of Terrell's go-to support entity spirals him into a world of self-doubt. Can he do this on his own?

71 Seconds
71 Seconds follows Trayvon Martin’s journey on the last page of his life written on February 26, 2012. This story highlights Martin’s innocence, as well as typical teenage angst. After making a stop at a convenient store, Martin is followed by the neighborhood watch member, George Zimmerman. Zimmerman called the police and expressed concern due to Trayvon’s appearance and demeanor while he was walking back to the home he was visiting. After a brief and violent altercation, Zimmerman fatally shot and killed Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman was later acquitted of second degree murder after claiming self defense based on Florida’s Stand Your Ground Law. This film is an exploration of the 71 seconds that are unaccounted for in the report of the altercation.
