About the Project

Giorgio Italian is deeply afraid of the dark. His brother, Armani Italian has had enough of it. It’s time to sleep with the lights off. 

There’s a knock at the door and Chuck (real name Bertram) the evangelist is at the door and to prolong the light turning off, Giorgio invites him. After a half meaningful discussion about God, there’s another knock at the door. 

Officer Ellis walks in looking for a neighborhood robber who was seen entering this apartment complex, which is now on lockdown. The Italian Brothers put two and two together, but before they can say anything, she’s off and Bertram, the robber, holds the brothers hostage. 

They are all trapped there, oh and also Bertram’s girlfriend is on her way. Why? It’s their anniversary dinner, of course.
