The plot follows two friends who just graduated community college and, while they wait to take over the world, they’re stuck at Rent-T-Own, a retail-rental crossroads. Despite the obstacles of inner-city life, these friends and their co-workers strive to achieve their entrepreneurial dreams.
Salahuddin is from the South Side of Chicago and said he wanted to promote how funny people in this area are. “At the time, there was a lot of stuff in the news about Chicago being a difficult place that has all of these challenges. Some of that stuff is true but it also wasn’t representative of really the joy and laughter and silliness and craziness that I knew growing up,” he said during Deadline’svirtual event.
