He shows a good degree of directorial skill in not letting it careen out of control once Leo’s plans start to blow up in his face. It is hard enough to just direct a film, but for his first Romano has also given himself one of his most challenging roles as a guy who clearly loves his family but nearly loses it all.

Ward is understated and terrific as a kid who is somewhat fragile, and not really sure he wants what his dad insists is good for him.
Producers are Albert Berger and Rox Yerxa along with Romano and Stegemann. The film is looking for distribution, and based on the impressive results of Romano’s directorial debut I would say it shouldn’t be a problem finding the right place for it to land.
