"Gun in My Gucci" Brings Crime Non-Fiction to the Big Screen




The chairman of Crest Investment Company, Jamal Daniel leverages his financial experience to ensure that Crest continues its strong market performance. Jamal Daniel also founded Levantine Films to fund and produce filmmakers whose projects involve unique cross-cultural experiences and perspectives. Levantine Films currently has a number of projects in development, including “Gun in My Gucci”.

Based on Elaine Corbitt Smith’s autobiographical book of the same name, “Gun in My Gucci” tells the story of how ex-FBI agent Smith, alongside a veteran mobster named Ken “Tokyo Joe” Eto, helped to bring down the Chicago mob, from the outside, during the 1980s.

The film will chart Smith’s evolution from teacher into crime buster, with her developing relationship with Ken Eto as a key plot point. After Eto’s arrest, the Chicago mob put out a hit that resulted in Eto being shot multiple times. Remarkably, he survived to provide Smith with the information she needed to take down his former organization.
