Blue Hill Avenue is the story of four neighborhood friends who grow up to be the most ruthless and successful drug dealers in Boston’s South End: Marlon "Money" Roberts, the lover of the crew; Eddie “E-bone” Winslett , the hothead; Simon Davis, the enforcer; and Tristan Mackey, the silent but violent leader of the group. This compelling urban drama about choices made and loyalties tested won director Craig Ross, Jr. Best Director honors at the Urbanworld Film Festival and Best Picture award at the Acapulco Black Film Festival.
