Many of us know City Island as the quiet subcontinent of The Bronx. It is where we go for the best seafood and to watch fireworks on the 4th of July. Soon enough, we will also know it as the setting and premise of Raymond De Felitta's new film, titled "City Island".

The movie, starring Alan Arkin and Andy Garcia, will debut at the Tribeca Film Festival on Sunday, April 26th at 5:30pm. Additional showings are scheduled for Wednesday, April 29th at 4:00pm and Friday, May 1st at 9:00pm. Locations for the showings are listed at www.tribecafilm.com/festival/.

Tickets for the festival go on sale Monday, April 20th. Recent updates to Raymond De Felitta's blog (http://moviestildawn.blogspot.com/) announced that tickets sold out during the pre-sale, starting on April 14th and available only to American Express cardholders. However, "rush tickets" are still available! Don't miss your chance to see our quirky City Island become a movie star.
