City Island

Director and Writer: Raymond De Felitta

Starring: Andy Garcia, Julianna Margulies and Emily Mortimer

Set in a quaint fishing community on the outskirts of New York City, City Island is a hilarious and touching tale about a family whose comfortable co-existence is upended by surprising revelations.

Vince Rizzo (Andy Garcia) is a lifelong resident of the tiny, tradition-steeped City Island. A family man who makes his living as a Corrections Officer, Vince longs to beome an actor. Ashamed to admit his aspirations to his family, Vince would rather let his fiery wife Joyce (Julianna Marguiles) believe his weekly poker games are a cover for an extramarital affair than admit he's secretly taking acting classes in Manhattan.

Winner of the Audience Award at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival, City Island spins a web of misrepresentations and misinterpretations into a smart and charming comedy about a family that stops at nothing to avoid the truth.
