“Changing The Game”

“When the game changes, so does everything you thought you had seen!”

“Changing The Game,” based on the screenplay by award-winning director Rel Dowdell, is the gripping story of two childhood friends from a gritty North Philadelphia neighborhood who choose divergent life paths but find themselves facing the same risks and, quite possibly, the same ending.

Darrell Barnes is a gifted student reared by his devoutly religious grandmother who wins a scholarship to Columbia University. Dre Newell is a street-wise hustler guided by the tactics of Niccolo Machiavelli who has put together a crew of teen-age drug dealers. Dre tries to introduce Darrell to his Machiavellian ways, giving him a dog-eared copy of the Italian philosopher’s book “The Prince.’’ But soon after “Dre” is blown up as he starts his car, leaving Darrell to ponder the lessons his friend hoped to impart.

Armed with an MBA from Columbia, Darrell is recruited by a leading investment house and becomes one of Wall Street’s most charismatic and powerful young players. But a corporate scandal, a corrupt ex-roommate, and a mysterious banker with a unique business service threaten to end his career and possibly his life.

On a trip home to Philadelphia, Darrell recalls the words of his late friend. Taking a page from Machiavelli, he conceives a plan to “evade one’s enemies and gain power” that triggers a climax as explosive as it is unexpected. When the game changes, so does everything you thought you had seen.

Yet again, Dowdell has assembled an enviable cast and written what is sure to be a critically-acclaimed, box office hit! Among his many other credits, Dowdell wrote and directed the number one African-American themed film in 2005 for Sony Pictures, “Train Ride” which grossed over $20 million in revenues.

Philly First Entertainment will begin filming “Changing the Game” in April 2010 in Philadelphia. The project has already gained recognition from the Greater Philadelphia Film Office (GPFO.)

Changing The Game will keep you on the edge of your seat with its suspenseful and chilling dialogue. It is sure to be a universally satisfying must see film for 2010!

Changing The Game has a dynamic cast starring Tony Todd, Irma Hall, Kirk "Sticky Fingaz" Jones, Composer McCoy Tyner, Brandon Ruckdashel Suzzanne Douglas and More... Nikki@tickettothemedia.com/ philly1st.com
