P-Rod Stars in Feature Film

E365 -- Paul Rodriguez has skated his way into his first feature film, Vicious Circle, which is making its World Premiere on Friday, July 25th, 2008 at the HBO New York Latino International Film Festival.

Set on the streets of Venice Beach, Vicious Circle follows 18-year-old RJ (P-Rod) as he runs through the streets of LA with a blood stained shirt and a gun in his backpack, leaving the audience to wonder "What happened?"

RJ is an artist and skater with a heart of gold. He dreams of moving to New York City to pursue his aspirations to create comic books. His hand-made sketchbook demonstrates his unique talent and acts as a portal between fantasy and reality. A strong influence of the game of chess from RJ's incarcerated father permeates his art and life.

Soon, RJ meets his first love Angel (Emily Rios), a rebellious singer in a local teenage punk band. Their unexpected story of true love causes the tides to turn in both lives, and RJ reveals a secret that will cost the life of his new love.
