The Giraldi Media/PattiCakes Productions short film, 'A Poet Long Ago' WON the Best Narrative Short Award at the Garden State Film Festival.
Directed by Bob Giraldi and written by Pete Hamill, 'A Poet Long Ago' stars Steve Schirripa as SONNY and Boris McGiver as MALLOY. In the present day, Sonny, a sanitation worker, and Malloy, a journalist, meet by chance on the street and reminisce about their grammar school days together back in 1970s Brooklyn. Immediately an old wound is opened; flashbacks reveal how the least likely of the pair had an astonishing gift for poetry that was beaten out of him by a narrow-minded father hell-bent on protecting him.
