Gianni and Milly-May McLaughlin, the creators of the award-winning independent mob film "Bless Me Father," join the Burn Down Podcast to share their unique story and how they made their own movie.
In August 2020, when their lavish destination wedding was canceled due to the pandemic, Gianni and Milly-May McLaughlin decided to use the money to pursue their passion for filmmaking. Their debut feature film, "Bless Me Father," set primarily in Hudson County, New Jersey, follows Vinny Dapello, a hitman for the New Jersey Italian Mob who is killing the same man who killed his father. Vinny, portrayed by Gianni, confesses his sins, and unveils the dirty history of his life. The film is also unique as the cast is comprised entirely of family and friends; a technique known as neorealism.
"Bless Me Father" is competing with larger, better-funded studio films on Amazon Prime. It has won multiple awards at both domestic and international film festivals. In 2022, it was named "New Jersey's Film of the Year!".
“Bless Me Father” is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video. Rent or buy it now!
