"Holy Hustle" Toledo Movie Premiere

A quick-witted con artist, Jacob McGee (Jack Shepherd BET's Comic View, HBO's Def Comedy Jam), and his straight-laced brother, Cain (Micah Robinson Jacked Up, Profiled), on the run from gangsters, scheme their way into pastoring a down-trodden rural church to hideaway, while hustling the saints to scrape up the loot they owe. Unbeknownst to Cain, who has become smitten by the adorable church secretary, Hope Warren (Gloria Darrington WE tv's Bridezillas and Marriage Boot Camp), Jacob has other plans for the money.

Holy Hustle is a buddy comedy that runs along the similar lines of the classic Blaxploitation films of the seventies, Lets Do It Again and Uptown Saturday Night, which featured Sydney Poitier and Bill Cosby. This movie takes a satirical look at some of the insanity we witness in some churches across America. More important, Holy Hustle is a movie of redemption, restored relationships and love.

Written, produced, and directed my former Toledoan, Mark A. Cummings.

This movie sold out over 800 seats at it's Columbus Premiere July 15, 2017.
