This is my childhood friend Steve Cirillo appearing in his latest short film, "Jukebox Deniro". Steve is an aspiring actor who has appeared in over 20 independent films and plays. Five of his films - "There Will Be Peace", "Auteur", "White Wedding", "Jaguar Hunter" and "Sex Kills" - will be featured in a variety of major film festivals, including the Seattle Film Festival, the SoHo Film Festival and First Run. "Jukebox Deniro" was an entry in Filmaka's Short and Documentary Film Competition, and was directed by John de Menil.
I particularly like the contrast between the upbeat, romantic tone of the film's final third and Steve's portrayal of a conflicted guilt-torn character in the beginning. It conveys the two realities the character is living in. On the one hand, he is seeing women on the side - a lifestyle which doesn't make him happy beyond its physical pleasure - and on the other, he has a seemingly ideal and romantic relationship with another girl. Well done Steve Supreme.
More from the homie Steve to come!
