Gangsta Boogie Films ‘Home Invasion’ produced and directed by Rick Jenkins of showcases the versatility of the ever growing phenomenon of hip-hop and rap artists stepping in front of the camera to show off their acting skills.

What makes this film so unique are the music video style performances that are woven right into the plot of the movie. The film stars Pasadena rappers The Roez Boyz, San Bernardino rap artists L-Boy and Boo Loc, Terry Jackson, Avise Parsons and model/actress Akana, best know as the girl in all the Chevrolet Equinox commercials.

The Plot - A group of gangster rappers (L-Boy, Boo Loc and Crew) plot a robbery on the offices of a hot local hip-hop record label as revenge because the label head (Terry Jackson) will not sign them. To their surprise the label head finds out who committed the robbery because of a hidden surveillance camera. In an attempt to get the evidence tape back the gangster rappers surround the label heads home taking his girlfriend (Akana) hostage and trapping everyone else inside. With a one hour deadline, no equipment and no way out, the hostages inside the home devise a way to try and fool their captures to end the stand off. As events unfold it becomes a roller coaster ride of guts and determination to beat the clock, complete their mission and end the deadly home invasion. With a great mix of musical performances intertwined within the plot of the movie, viewers will be entertained with music, action and suspense to the very end.

Along with traditional retail and video rental distribution, Gangsta Boogie Films has also decided to push hard for online distribution. Opting to make the VHS and DVD available online through the company website at www.GangstaBoogieFilms.com, www.HomeInvasionMovie.com as well known stores like www.Amazon.com and www.CustomFlix.com to name a few. The DVD alone has sold more than 500 copies the first month of release.

“Internet distribution makes our movies available to the public much quicker, giving us instant worldwide distribution,” says Rick. The film has also just been made available for download on file sharing networks such as www.Kazaa.com and www.Morpheus.com if someone does not want to wait for a DVD or VHS tape to come in the mail.

Home Invasion is the second of a list of new “Hip-Hop Movies” to be release from Gangsta Boogie Films, a hot soundtrack is also available under the newly formed Gangsta Boogie Records. The new hip-hop movies are scripted with actual artist performances interwoven into the plots. Just think of a 90 minute music video or hip-hop “Music Movies.”
