         Pre-Disposal         Reck         Russian Roulette

Pre-Disposal

Synopsis:
Pre-Disposal takes place on a hot Bed-Stuy morning; three young men meet all looking for something different. One is looking for someone to confide in, another is looking for a story to tell, and the third is looking for an opportunity. Pre-Disposal is a savage comedy about race, terror, and the role of art in an unforgiving part of the world

Reck

Synopsis:
"In Reck, a series of personal, racial, sexual, and pharmaceutical misadventures befall a pair of struggling young artists over a zany, grueling, and often self-referencing Friday in New York City, 2008. Through their friends, lovers, and enemies, they come to terms with themselves, their aspirations, and adulthood in a violently dynamic 21st century.

Russian Roulette

Synopsis:
With Russian Roulette, Prescod douses Chekhov's 'Dangers of Tobacco,' 'Reluctant Tragic Hero,' and 'marriage Proposal' with colloquial language and allusions to Pop Americana. In 'Dangers of Tobacco,' a man struggles to give a lecture thrust upon him by his overpowering wife, until her mental hold on him leads him to the point of mental breakdown in the middle of his presentation. 'Reluctant Tragic Hero' follows a similar journey, as office life, a train, and mosquitoes turn an ordinary man into a near-homicidal monster, while 'marriage Proposal' pits romance against land disputes, disfigured dogs, and a heart murmur
