Astoria Park

A close group of friends are confronted by anger and racism on the basketball court they call home: Astoria Park.

For Aman, Taso, and their friends, it would be just another day on the basketball court. However, the summer heat brings familiar enemies. With basketball and freestyle rap as their platform, each gang struggles to protect their identity and territory in the uncomfortable racial dynamic that is post 9/11 New York City. Tensions rise, and the anger escalates into a high-octane battle of wits and will.

Astoria Park was filmed entirely on location in Astoria, Queens. Combining the unique aspects of basketball, freestyle rap, and melting-pot cultures, Astoria Park is the voice of a new generation of independent filmmaking.
