West Of The City
Donation protected
To all our Hudson Exploited Fans, Friends and Supporters,
We want to firstly express our sincerest gratitude to everyone that has already supported our journey to create our series "West of the City".
This July we shot the Proof of Concept for our Television Show "WEST OF THE CITY". We were fortunate enough to assemble a top notch cast and an equally seasoned and expertly skilled production team of over 40 onset crew and 80 other professionals to tell this story.
See for yourself all the work that many of you made possible with your kind donation in this curated slideshow chronicling the making of West of the City…

If you enjoyed the slide show and what we’ve been working towards, it’s not too late to get involved by making a gift to make our West of the City series happen!
Please consider making a year-end tax deductible donation to insure that this project makes it to the next step. While we are almost there, we are still in need of covering a number of final post production costs including additional editing and graphic design work for our marketing and presentation materials.
Logline
Wracked by the guilt over the execution style, murder of his best friend and partner, a hot-headed cop vows to find his killers. Facing daunting career obligations and a corrupt police department, Officer Miguel (Mickey) Garcia turns to the only two people he can trust—his lifelong friends, a pair of career criminals whose loyalty to each other is only outweighed by the need to avenge a murdered friend.
About "West of the City"
Set in a small urban-centric town just west of NYC, an eclectic mix of Blues, Latin and Retro sounds permeate the visually gritty but character filled urban landscape of this dark humored political and police thriller that takes us into the world of everyman police officer Miguel (Mickey) Garcia and his three closest childhood friends. As he suffers from the guilt over his partner Benny’s execution style murder in broad daylight, the frustration of training an inexperienced undercover narcotics unit while turning for help to the only two friends he can trust—a pair of criminals; can Mickey hold it together long enough to get justice for Benny?
