The Wannabe
Respect isn't earned. It's stolen.
Directed by Nick Sandow
Produced by Traction Media, Electric Entertainment
A dark, drug-fueled crime drama about a delusional wannabe gangster whose obsession with mob culture and rejection by his idols spiral into increasingly reckless and dangerous behavior.
Based on true events, The Wannabe, a story about Thomas, a man obsessed with Mafia culture during the 1990s in New York City. When Thomas’s failed attempts to fix the trial of infamous mobster John Gotti gets him rejected by the people he idolizes most, he sets off on a drug infused crime spree with his girlfriend and longtime mob groupie, Rose, by brazenly robbing the local Mafia hangouts.
