Hold Up
Hold Up takes a comedic look at the problems everyday people face during difficult economic times. It is the story of Bonnie (Marissa Skell), an independent artist struggling to pay the bills, and Jim (Ryan Scott Self), a dreamer stuck in a dead-end pawn shop job. Their paths intertwine when
BonnieÂ’s replica painting is mistaken as an original by Mahesh (Sid Veda), a local convenience store owner. The storyÂ’s theme echoes the idea of taking control of oneÂ’s life by taking action, even extreme ones, and is inspired by the classic story of Bonnie and Clyde. Against all odds, the two characters manage to step forward toward their dreams.
