Web Series Synopsis:
Super Trill follows Jamal and Marquis, two African-American teenage boys in high school, who experience adventures of carelessness and raging hormones in suburban America. Marquis seeks to find acceptance beyond being the token black guy while attempting to find meaning in his black masculinity which he doesn’t fully yet understand. Jamal is focused and has two purposes in life, manage to get a girlfriend before he’s 18 and make it into an Ivy League college, often getting sidetracked into the crazy antics of his best friend, Marquis. One thing both boys can’t escape is the realization that they are black living in a world surrounded by nothing but whiteness.
