The Lovers Lyfe

The Lovers Lyfe is based on a true story set in Pittsburgh in the early 90s. Nina, young and ambitious single mother from Pittsburgh, who lost her mother tragically to cancer while she was pregnant with her daughter. Her love for her daughter was so great that she turned tragedy into focus by doing what she had to do to provide for them both. At 19 she obtained a fake ID so she could work in one of Pittsburgh's hottest nightclubs, Forbes Studio, as a high paying bartender and was able to hustle and make a decent living for herself and her daughter. Chris, originally from New York, was a top student at his university in Pittsburgh and brought his New York spirit of survival with him by opening up one of the only hot dog stands in the area to take care of himself and pay for college. They cross paths early on with a chance meeting at Forbes Studios, but time and circumstances kept them apart for a couple of decades. Who would have thought a simple Facebook message would rekindle a lost love in such an unforgettable way. Here's the story of Love Survival Hustle...The Lovers Lyfe (Pan African Film Festival)
