Movie Title: Paper Chasers Release Year: 2005 Studio: Koch Vision Entertainment Cast: Ludacris, Fat Joe, Master P Detailed Description: The rise of hip hop has given an opportunity to many enterprising souls with a keen eye for making money. Artists who were formerly content with record sales in the millions have decided that this is no longer enough, and have branched out into a wide variety of business ventures. Director Maxie D. Collier takes a look at some of these "paper chasers" (as he terms them) in this exploratory documentary, offering viewpoints from battle-scarred industry veterans and new, up-and-coming talents. Collier also juxtaposes the success stories of artists such as Ludacris and Fat Joe with his own stresses and strains concerning the making of his film, which frequently threaten to cut the making of PAPER CHASERS short, and provide a neat counterpoint to the accomplishments of his subjects. An insightful view of a thriving industry, Collier's film is an absorbing dissection of the impact these hip hop entrepreneurs have had on the world.

Still, DJay wonders what happened to all the big dreams he had for his life. A chance encounter with an old friend, Key, a sound engineer who has always wanted to make it in the music business, spurs DJay: if he's ever going to make his mark, it has to happen now. He begins to write down his freestyle raps - his flow - and the two team up with Shelby, a church musician with a beat machine, to lay down bass-thumping crunk tracks. DJay's metamorphosis affects his entire house, as the women in his life - Shug and Nola - find ways to contribute to the creative process. With the impending visit to Memphis of hometown platinum-selling rapper Skinny Black, DJay has to make one last hustle if he's ever going to flow.
