Streamlined version of Mean Streets focusing on Charlie trying to balance protecting his friends and breaking into the "family" business.
Intentions:
My intention with this edit was to make a more streamlined version of Mean Streets. This was originally a part of a planned project with Neglify and Dwight Fry to do a "New York Stories" compilation of shorts. This project never materialized so I decided to release my short by itself.
Change List:
This is not an exhaustive list, just the changes I remember off the top of my head. - Changed opening - Removed character intros - Removed all voice over narration - Removed side plot with dancer - Reduced romance story line - Removed all the religious themes.
Additional Notes:
