Shark Out of Water is a short film based on the downside of playing poker and shows how gambling addictions and bad runs can affect players personal lives. The new poker movie features cameo roles from profession poker players Phil Hellmuth (UB Poker) and Brad Booth and although the film is only eighteen minutes long, it has created much hype in the film industry and the poker world recently.

The movie was made by poker player Juan Riedinger who has had many ups and down while playing poker and he wanted to capture the true reality of poker with it’s constantly changing swings of wins and loses.

The Poker DVD was released last week and hopefully through it’s success a full feature film will be released some time soon. Check out the official Shark Out of Water trailer here.
