Storyline

How To Be A Loan Shark is a short film, about a young Loan Shark, Harvey. He explains to the audience his past and current experiences in the business. Sometimes collecting money is easy, and some times it gets down right dirty. Through a series of short stories told by Harvey, the audience learns of a situation he is currently in. He finds himself in debt to a bigger, more dominant Loan Shark, Lester, an older Cuban man, who has been in the game for decades. Lester threatens the life of Harvey, his parents, and even worse his daughter. With a chip on his shoulder, and an ego that says never kneel. Harvey must now conjure up a way to get this money for Lester. Using his wits, and sly tactics, in an attempt to prevail.
