DPOH Entertainment and Capital K Pictures Collaborate as Partners in Crime - Short Film Project "Walking Maris' Way"

DPOH Entertainment and Capital K Pictures collaborate, as partners in crime, on the City Life Productions Short Film Walking Maris' Way, written by Raymond Boone and Katherine Rodriguez. The production is slated for an Early Spring start date throughout Manhattan, NY.

Walking Maris' Way, is a short film based on the everyday experiences of Detective Maris Ortiz, a Latino female who must balance family life with the demands of a male dominated, and bureaucratic New York Police Department. Detective Maris Ortiz consistently masters her craft in criminal psychology to her colleagues' dismay, yet finds herself at the ready every time a curve ball is thrown her way as she walks into the precinct and while walking the streets fighting crime in New York City.
