The Metro: ‘Detroit Boi’ short film premiering at Old Miami
If the buildings, halls and walls of the Cass corridor could speak they would speak for days. The Cass Corridor, now dubbed Midtown, has been through significant changes. Art and culture have long been central to life in the Cass Corridor. A new short film, “Detroit Boi,” portrays the neighborhood through the eyes of longtime residents.
Detroit native Mike Targus is a writer and director. He operates Detroit based Mack Black Productions. He also directed “The Corridor. Defended.” which won best in comedy at the 2017 New York Shorts Festival.
Patrick “PT” Trainor is a carpenter, who worked on most of the buildings in the Cass Corridor and he’s one of the voices featured in “Detroit Boi.”
The short film premieres at the Old Miami at 8 p.m., August 9, 2025.
