Chicago – Andy Garcia has a movie star presence, combined with a true appreciation for his profession and craft. He takes on a character role in the upcoming film “City Island,” as a New York borough prison guard who longs to be an actor.

Director Raymond de Felitta and actor/producer Andy Garcia were brought together by their matchmaking agents at Paradigm. After their first introduction they agreed to work together on de Felitta's romantic comedy, City Island.

It turns out he is not the only person in his family harboring a secret. As layers of secrets slowly reveal themselves, it becomes clear the Rizzo clan has been living in deception for years. But City Island is not a family drama; instead de Felitta wanted to give the story a light touch, with comedy and romance making it an uplifting story in the end.
