UP AGAINST THE 8 BALL is a zany urban comedy about two women struggling to overcome the odds. Krista (Iva LaShawn, THE WASH) and Monique (Tawny Dahl, BEAUTY SHOP) are two African-American students looking for a way to finance their senior year of college. Dusting off their cue sticks, the pool-hustling duo head to the Las Vegas strip for a high-stakes tournament, where their moneymaking scheme pits them against an oddball assortment of bumbling mobsters and tenderhearted pimps. Directed by actor Troy Curvey, Jr. (VAMPIRE IN BROOKLYN) with creative direction by Miguel Nunez, Jr. (JUWANNA MAN), this indie comedy features supporting turns from J. Arnez (BET`s COMIC VIEW), Kym Whitley (DELIVER US FROM EVA), Lady May (ANNE B. REAL), and Jay Cooper (FAMILY REUNION).
