Turn it up is a story about one man's struggle to change his life. Diamond (Pras Michel) is a naturally gifted musician, whose drive to realise his dreams forces him to re-evaluate his life and the people around him.
The story begins with the sudden death of Diamond's mother, Rose. Soon his musician father (Vondie Curtis hall) re-enters his life looking for reconciliation. Diamond has more immediate problems; his girlfriend Tamara (Tamala Jones) is pregnant, and his childhood friend Gage (Ja Rule) has unwittingly drawn Diamond into his life of drug-running and violence.
Unsure of which path to follow, Diamond devotes himself to his music and finds support and inspiration in unexpected places.
An emotionally charged film, Turn it up is a contemporary drama about urban life and the importance of following your dreams.
Written and directed by Robert Adetuyi.
