I Don't Make the Rules is a short film from filmmaker Law Chen that follows an ex-football player as he tries to survive in New York City through odd-jobs.

An ex-pro football player works various blue collar odd jobs in order to survive in New York City and will do whatever it takes once he gets an interview for an entry level office job at a law firm. Starring Myles Humphus, actor and stunt double for Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, "I Don't Make The Rules" is inspired by Myles' early life following his short stint in pro football.
