Mockumentary Lolipop Gang filmed in Rhode Island

Directed by Award Winning filmmaker and RI native Christopher Annino and Angel Orsini Lolipop Gang is set to be finished filming in 2025.

Lolipop Gang (2024) - Full Cast & Crew - IMDb was loosely based on actual events. WARNING!!! the names have been changed to protect the ignorant. The Lolipop Gang is a dark comedy/mockumentary directed by amateur documentarian filmmaker X played by Mike Messier. about wannabe Rhode Island gangster by the name of Nicholas aka Nick the Genius Sargenti played by Joe Nemchek - IMDb and his goofy gang of untalented misfits. The gang got mixed up in a pyramid scheme and think they are selling illegal lollipops from Canada. Nick's enablers have him believe he is something he is not. This creates a false sense of entitlement and metaphorically gives him the idea that he is a big fish in a small pond. In other words, he embodies the legend of the modern-day emperors' new cloths. It all changes when exotic dancer Kim F'ing Barnes played by original GLOW girl Jeanne Basone - IMDb walks into Nicks life and changes everything both for the better and worse.

Lolipop Gang is directed by ECW pro wrestling legend Angel Orsini and award-winning filmmaker / actor/ pro wrestler and Rhode Island native Christopher Annino. Both Angel and Chris act in the film as brother and sister Tiny and Shelly Nunchucks Sargenti

"I don't work with actors I work with people and a majority of my films have a lot of pro wrestlers in them" said Annino.
