When three friends accidentally inherit a phone full of secrets, they’re thrust into a chaotic showdown with a clout-chasing maniac determined to expose everything—and everyone.
Synopsis
What The Hell? Again! is a laugh-out-loud comedy-thriller about three clueless friends who stumble upon Katt Williams’ missing phone—a device packed with everyone’s secrets. Instead of returning it, they dive headfirst into enjoying the perks of being connected to Katt’s world. But their fun quickly spirals into chaos as they find themselves in bizarre situations, pursued by Katt’s sharp-witted women agents and a clout-chasing maniac known as “The Boss.” As the friends fumble their way through the madness, they accidentally uncover the truth behind Katt’s mysterious disappearance. Packed with outrageous humor, wild twists, and unexpected heroics, this film proves that even the clueless can stumble into greatness— or at least survive the day.

What The Hell?! began as an innovative short film that brought together local talent and musicians from the tri-state area, showcasing their creativity and energy. In January 2024, the film premiered to an audience of over 200 enthusiastic attendees in Newark, NJ.
The premiere was more than just a screening—it was a magical night of celebration, diversity, and creative expression.

This vibrant mix of talent and storytelling brought the audience together, sparking conversations and connections that extended beyond the event.
