After a practice with a fellow teammate, Hendrix, the night before the big game, Gino gets a frantic phone call from Selena warning him about his ex-boss, Big T. Suddenly Gino is "kidnapped", and has to jump at the opportunity to take out his ex-boss once and for all.

Director Biography - Stephanie Alecia Rose

Award-winning Director Stephanie Alecia Rose started her love for the arts on stage. Already with a drawing background of superheroes for her brothers, Stephanie fell in love with acting after narrating for a school play in the 5th grade. From there, Stephanie continued her career in acting well into adulthood. From stage to film and television, Stephanie not only loved acting but also loved everything around it. Stage managing, set design and building, costuming, and directing became a part of the many other hats Stephanie can wear. Now with her focus solely on directing and filmmaking, Stephanie has written, directed, and produced all of her short films. She has even filmed nine out of ten of them! Stephanie has won Best Director three times for her short film, Brown Sugar, as well as other awards for her short script, ‘21, and other short films. Stephanie hopes to have a production studio of her own one day!
