ABOUT GB2525
In the dark, urban landscape of the future, a two-year gang truce is shattered when the leader of the most powerful gang, 54th Street, is brutally assassinated. Puppet (Richard Azurdia), now in command, seeks violent retaliation. The sole obstacle to an all out war is a respected gang member known as "Supa'man", who convinces Puppet to give him time to search out those responsible and salvage the truce. Sup' and his crew must battle time and rival gangs to ultimately discover a truth far greater than they could have ever imagined.

GB2525 recently premiered with critical acclaim at the San Diego Latino Film Festival. It's written/co-directed by Jojo Henrickson (writer of the critically acclaimed film, Ladron Que Roba A Ladron from Lionsgate) and produced by John Estrada (selected as a 2009 Producing Fellow for Project: Involve, Film Independent). It also features Frank Alvarez, Jossara Jinaro (Passions), Bernie Martinez, JoJo Henrickson (Ladron Que Roba A Ladron), Ruben Garfias (Get Smart's Bruce & Lloyd), Ricardo Molina (Drag Me To Hell), Gabe Martinez, Pete Pano and Oscar Torre (Cane).
