Cranked Up Films Picks Up ‘How to Rob’ Starring Chinaza Uche

Peter Horgan’s debut feature film How to Rob has been acquired by Good Deed Entertainment’s Cranked Up Films for North American rights and Nicely Entertainment for international rights. The crime drama, shot in Cape Cod and Boston, includes outstanding performances from Chinaza Uche (Silo, Zach Braff’s A Good Person), Josh Koopman (The Golden Scallop) and Caitlin Zoz (Silo). The film won the 2022 Audience Award for Narrative Feature to sold-out audiences at both IFFBoston and the New Hampshire Film Festival.

"We’re thrilled to include How to Rob as a part of Nicely Entertainment’s growing slate of international releases,” said Scott Kirkpatrick, EVP of Distribution and Co-Productions for Nicely Entertainment. “Director Peter Horgan did a fantastic job executing this film and we cannot wait to get this title distributed into the international market."  

In How to Rob, the lifelong bond between a Boston two-man stick-up crew of Sean Price (Chinaza Uche) and Jimmy Winters (Josh Koopman) is put to the test when they rob the wrong bookie and go on the lam from a couple of killers hell-bent on retribution.

"We’re excited to be working with Cranked Up and Nicely Entertainment. How to Rob is a film about loyalty, friendship, platonic love, and how relationships evolve over time. With such incredible performances by Chinaza, Josh and the rest of the cast, we’re excited to share this film with audiences worldwide," says Horgan. 

How to Rob is written and directed by Peter Horgan, produced by Horgan, Josh Koopman, Chinaza Uche, Samantha Brindisi, Vera Teixeira, Becca E. Davis, Rio Contrada, Sara Franzman, Andrew Gerzon and Caitlin Zoz and executive produced by Sammie Astaneh (Exile). The film's director of photography is Urban Mouse Productions’ Mike Hechanova (Bad Frank), edited by Bruno Ferreira and composed by Natalia Hatz.
