Synopsis
A convenience store clerk nervously waits as he plans to execute an untraceable crime. All it will take is a convincing performance by himself and Chad’s guy for the security camera.
Chad’s guy points the gun and the clerk throws his hands up, easy as that. Payday for all involved.

Personal statement
Alan Sukonnik says:
“City Express was an experiment to see how fast a good story can be scripted, shot and edited but retain quality and integrity. Deadlines sometimes produce great projects and this was the case with City Express.
Jamie and Mark (the writers) came to us with this idea and a tight deadline. We loved it from the start and got right into the characters. One of the biggest challenges of shooting a convenience store was avoiding all labels. Not any easy task since the store is pretty much all labels. With the help of crew and actors we prepped the store in record time and pulled off a tight story.
We were limited by a short timeline but we weren’t limited in the quality and effort that everybody put in. We hope you enjoy!”
