BURT
YOUNG, {"Paulie"
of ROCKY
series} and MOLLY PRICE
{“Faith”, TV's THIRD
WATCH} round out this talented troupe with
JOHN GIGANTE as
Rick Cugini, a
neighborhood Brooklyn guy that made very good.
Rick, raised by
his grandfather and shaped by his love of movies, is a successful
filmmaker living in
Los Angeles but
disillusioned with
TinselTown.
The death of his high school English teacher/mentor brings Rick back to
Brooklyn for the
memorial.
An
uplifting romance with comedy,
CUGINI is a poignant
exploration of family, friendship and morality.
It captures the spirit of a genuine independent
New York picture.
