When family is tougher than coming out!


As the holidays approach, we thought we'd throw a fun family comedy your way.

In Alto, Francesca “Frankie” Del Vecchio (Diana DeGarmo) is adamant about many things in life. Headstrong and passionate, she loves her family, her band, and her fiancé; but disagrees with all of them about one thing: "Mob Hit" a TV show symbolizes the fetishizing of Mafia culture that to Frankie obscures all the more important aspects of the Italian American culture she longs to feed her soul. 


But Frankie’s abhorrence of–and her sister Heather’s attraction to–Mob culture remain symbolic, that is until Frankie opens the trunk of a rental car and finds her world turned upside down.

Also features: Natalie Knepp, Billy Wirth, Annabella Sciorra, Lou Martini, Jr., Jake Robards, Anthony Gallo


Alto was always intentionally a movie to make people laugh, and through humor, help heal the wounds that separate us, particularly from those we love.

In the end, I wanted to make a film that would break through the differences between people and encourage authentic lives.

It just so happens, some of those lessons are the stuff of comedy.

I learned that what matters in the world is simple but getting there is not. Alto emerged from a place that knew both.  It emerged from family.
