Shoot Your Shot Spotlights Sexual Violence Against Black Women on the Southside of Chicago.
Los Angeles, CA (Sept. 18, 2023). SHOOT YOUR SHOT is Bree Wright’s directorial debut. Inspired by true events, this potent story explores the everyday fears of women simply trying to get home.

Shoot Your Shot is led by emerging Chicago actors Dyamone Hopkins and Rich Oliver (DePaul MFA Theater School Alums) with a strong supporting cast with Malachi Shannon, Micah J. Oliver, Diego Longoria, and Delysa Richards.
Logline: After a long day of bussing tables and taking orders, JaBria’s evening takes a turn when she is harassed by a neighborhood scrub looking for trouble.
