Jonathon White ("Milk") survives youth in 70s-era Queens to become a post-911 NYPD officer and father until secrets from his past threaten to destroy everything he holds dear. Equal parts metafiction, mystery and poetry, The Story of Milk is the story of street code and the fragile bonds of friendship. The Story of Milk inspired major motion picture The Son of No One, starring Channing Tatum, Tracy Morgan, Katie Holmes, Ray Liotta, Juliette Binoche and Al Pacino.
Orlandito "Dito" Montiel, son of Orlando, a Nicaraguan immigrant, and an Irish mother, grew wild in the streets of Astoria, Queens, pulling pranks for Greek and Italian gangsters and confessing at the church of the Immaculate Conception, gobbling hits of purple mescaline and Old English, sneaking into Times Square whore houses--"Kids from nowhere going nowhere." This is the quintessentially American story of a young man's hunger for experience, his dawning awareness of the bigger world across the bridge, and of the loyalties that bind him to a violent past and to the flawed and desperate saints that have guided him: Dito's father, Antonio "our insane warrior hero," Bob Semen, Frank the dog walker, Jimmy Mullen, Cherry Vanilla, Ginsberg and all the others, the drunks, coke-heads, junkies, the insaniacs like Santos Antonios who said, "Now Dito remember, in life you gotta be crazy."
Dito Montiel directs this touching drama starring Robin Williams in his final performance as Nolan Mack, a married middle-class bank clerk in his 60s who enjoys living his life through routines. On a whim one evening, Nolan travels to a different part of town and meets gay prostitute Leo (Roberto Aguire) which causes him to question his sexuality. As a result of this awakening, Nolan reflects on the course of his rather conventional life and contemplates what he wishes for his life now, all the while wrought with guilt and regret over his marriage. The cast also includes Kathy Baker and Bob Odenkirk.
