  • "I touch work like I'm Convertible Burt" - Rick Ross "Hustlin'"
    To kick off our "Other Side of the Bridge" gallery during Art Basel 2015, 8&9 gets with the one and only World Famous Convertible Burt. After serving over 20 years in prison, Richard "Convertible Burt" Simmons, takes us through his old stomping grounds in Miami from the Graveyard Projects to Liberty City, discussing how he got his name, his hustling days, the Pork n Bean projects, and much more. Shot By Darryl Omar.

    LOG LINE: An action pack drama about two goons that are hired to seek and capture a Miami
    female drug lord.
    SYNOPSIS: Big Barry and Cisco set on a quest to hire the most dangerous neighborhood
    goons they could find in order to assist in taking down Miami top drug lord, who so happens that
    the drug lord is a female.. She’s the most ruthless, vicious drug lord Miami has ever seen. A
