Director Statement

Paul & David’s story about two tough guys who are out to get each other, speaks to me because we get to see the ordinary human behind the stereo type of a mafia hit man. These people were kids too. And they have morals. (At least their own kind). There is a subtle humor to these killers that – hopefully -will make you like them. I know I do.
