When Curtis Snow steals a video camera from some college kids during a dope deal, he gives the camera to his best friend, Pancho, and they start documenting their lives. At first its business as usual for Curtis. He robs dope boys, he runs from the cops, he sells drugs, all while trying to provide for his two-year-old son. But when one of the dealers he ripped off comes for revenge, Curt’s life starts to spiral out of control.

An unauthorized low-budget sequel, Snow on tha Bluff 2, was released direct-to-video in 2015; it starred Snow and Snoop Dogg, and was directed by JT the Bigga Figga. The filmmakers did not get the permission from Fuzzy Logic Pictures, resulting in the production company suing Snoop Dogg and his company Trapflix in federal court for multiple counts of copyright infringement in August 2015.[17] In July 2016, a California federal judge awarded Fuzzy Logic damages and entered a permanent injunction ordering another entity and its owner from ever using the company's movie trademark again. Fuzzy Logic settled with Snoop Dogg for contributory copyright infringement after their lawyers came to a mutual agreement for closure.[18]
