Dino: The Movie
Dino: The Movie
“We believe it is irresponsible for anyone to think that modern media doesn’t have a direct influence in our lives. We are committed to making a difference in the world through our films.” ~ Trinity Angels Productions
Smart and sophisticated, this film combines moral themes, action, and comedy in a realistic way that walks the fine line between faith, flaws, and everything in between. “Dino” is “The Professional” meets “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”.
Aging career mobster, Dino De Martino, son of mafia Don, Gino De Martino, has never known any other way. He was born the son of the leader of Chicago’s Outfit and has lived by their rules his entire life. It’s been a hard one. Growing up with a father in such a position of power, Dino didn’t have the bond most sons have with their Dads. Their father/son interactions were always interrupted by “business”. Although Dino never let on, he resented not having a “regular” father. When other boys were studying for their college preparatory exams, Dino was extorting shop owners, hanging out in strip clubs, and disciplining underlings. He was totally immersed in “the life” and had no room for anything else. In recent years, drugs and alcohol had become his comfort.
When Dino enters court ordered rehab, he makes an unlikely connection with the Proprietor’s teen daughter, Ruby Carter. She is shy, principled, a bit nerdish, and wise beyond her years. She carries a great sense of responsibility having been raised alone by her father-the facility resident psychologist and owner. She is the antithesis of Dino, who is rude, domineering, and often childish.
Throughout the film, Ruby attempts to teach Dino about God, responsibility, and accountability; but when the Sawyer State Rehab Facility falls victim to governmental budget cuts, Dino takes matters into his own hands.
“Dino journeys back from addiction while rediscovering himself”
Yes, we understand that faith-based projects often get a bad rap because they can err on the corny side, but it doesn’t have to be this way. “Dino” will be proof of it. It’s time to bring God back to the center of our lives and present it in an entertaining, savvy, and realistic story.
