The Bros. is a 2007 independent film by writer/director Jonathan Figg, starring newcomers John Tindall and Joachim Wiese. The film was originally shot in 2000 and 2001; postproduction on the low-budget picture was finally completed in 2005. The Bros. was purchased by Barnholtz Entertainment in late 2006 and was eventually released on DVD by Lionsgate Films on February 20, 2007. Based on a festival award-winning short film, THE BROS. chronicles the adventures of underachieving misfits Pete and Lanny, a pair of wannabe "gangsta rappers," who set out on an all-night crime spree designed to... establish their street cred. and provide the funding needed to pay for a studio recording session. Raised in a picket-fence paradise that's about as far removed from the ghetto as possible, this misguided pair of aspiring rappers determine to make a name for themselves by setting out on a manic night of low-level criminal conduct. When a bizarre twist of fate finds Pete and Lanny's incompetent criminal enterprise mistaken for benevolent heroism by the community, the pair quickly seize the opportunity to turn their fifteen minutes of fame into a successful hip hop career.
