WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
An AMaru Film
LOG-LINE: When a group of friends plants a fake fortune inside a converted Baltimore bank to test one woman's loyalty, their prank spirals out of control after she discovers the setup and secretly turns the experiment back on them forcing everyone to reveal what they would really do for money.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Finding the money is easy. Knowing who to trust is another story.
Jess has a vision: turn an old Baltimore bank into a film and television studio and school where she and her friends can build something together. Her philosophy is simple: everybody eats.
Then she discovers a hidden stash of money and keeps quiet.
What she doesn’t know is that her friends planted it to test her. What they don’t know could turn their little experiment against them.
What Would You Do? is an independent feature about ambition, loyalty, and how quickly we can get people wrong even the people we swear we know best.
Why Baltimore?
Baltimore is part of why we’re making this film in the first place.
Through Jimmie Thomas and the young music and visual artists he has cultivated at MRI, we’re building opportunities for local talent to contribute both in front of and behind the camera. Their creativity is a reason to bring this production to life here.
“Everybody eats” is Jess’s philosophy. It’s also a belief we want to put into practice as we make the film.
We’re building it. Come along.
The film is in development, with production tentatively planned for late February through mid-March 2027 in Baltimore.
