CHEAT: (feature film currently in post production)

A burnt out poker cheat trying to go straight has a fallout with his long time, con artist partner who wants nothing more than to take down the home-town-hero poker champ to pay off his own gambling debts and avoid being killed by the Asian mob. 

Tom Brummell and Jordie Jacobson are business partners who live and work in Vancouver, BC. Their business is poker. They play for money in small independent games. Jordie organizes the games, fronts the stake money and finds the players. Tom plays them. He never loses. Tom is what is called a card mechanic. In other words: a cheat. This is the story of Tom trying to go straight, against all odds.
