SOMETIMES THE ONLY WAY TO MOVE FORWARD IS TO GO BACK

A coming-of-age drama about writer/director Dito Montiel's (Fighting) youth, the film captures the mid-1980's in the toughest neighborhood of Astoria, Queens. Dito (Academy Award Nominee* Robert Downey Jr., Avengers: Endgame) called home after 15 years because his father (Academy Award Nominee** Chazz Palminteri, Bullets Over Broadway) is ill, encounters old friends - the ones he lost, the ones he left behind, the ones he can't help but remember. These are Dito's saints. An honest account of a bittersweet return to a neighborhood where relationships can never be what they once were, Dito's story is about to come to terms with a father's rage and a father's love.

Featuring an all-star cast that includes Academy Award Winner*** Dianne Wiest (The Birdcage), Shia LaBeouf (Transformers), Channing Tatum (Magic Mike), Rosario Dawson (Unstoppable), Melonie Diaz (Fruitvale Station) and Academy Award Nominee*** * Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight)in this 'fresh and intense' (Los Angeles Times) Sundance Film Festival Award Winning (Best Ensemble, Best Director) film.
