Logline: Personal ambition and family loyalty collide when a shocking revelation catapults a New York City Councilwoman into uncharted political territory.

Inner Circle is a proof-of-concept short film for a political drama television series that could see the first woman ever run the greatest city in the world.
Think Billions meets Scandal.
The short film serves as a prequel to season one of the series which begins three years later.

Michelle Moss, a wealthy Type A, heiress turned advocate for the average Joe, seems to be the perfect candidate until she finds out her family has skeletons in their closet.
Skeletons, which could cost her everything.
After having her aspirations to become Mayor of New York dashed, Councilwoman Michelle Moss finds herself needing help from Kurt Turner, the very person who nearly torpedoed her entire career.
Can she trust him? Perhaps the real question is, after she finds out what’s really happening, can she trust anyone else?

Directed by Jeff Oppenheim, Inner Circle was filmed in both New York City and Philadelphia under a SAG-AFTRA Micro-budget contract and in conjunction with the New York City Mayor's Office of Film, Theater and Broadcasting.
Watch "Boise" a short scene featuring Susan Richard & Drew Jordan that got so many views on YouTube, it inspired them to create Inner Circle.
