71 year old Frank Vincent (Goodfellas) takes the lead in this new mob story Chicago Overcoat. Vincent convincingly plays Lou Marazano, an aging hitman for the mob in Chicago who is trying to prove he still has what it takes and completely looks the role!
The Brian Caunter helmed mob action/drama also stars Mike Star, Stacey Keach, Kathrine Narducci and even Armand Assante shows up in this cool film. If you have been looking for a great crime boss, mafia style film then check this one out because we really don't get too many of these kind of films anymore.
Even though a mobster style film isn't really my thing once I started watching the DVD I was hooked until the end where our main character Marzano shows the kids a thing or two. Recommended for any Sopranos or Goodfellas fan out there so check this DVD out!

Producers of the movie Chicago Overcoat will air seven short films on Chicago Cable Access 25 on September 21st and 28th at 8:00 pm.
*** Press release by Beverly Ridge Pictures of Chicago ***
The seven short films were shot from 2004-2006 by the filmmakers while they studied film & video at Columbia College Chicago. Although the films were privately screened for their respective casts and crews in 2007, they are just now being made available for the public.
“It was the Shorts Collection that brought us all together,” says director Chris Charles. “We learned our craft shooting short films at Columbia, and applied all those lessons to the commercials and features we produced after college.”
The 16mm and 35mm films cover a variety of genres and plots, but all share one thing in common: they were shot here in Chicago with local cast and crew. They range in running time from about 3-8 minutes,...

The win came over a crowed field of competitors from all over the world, many of them with much larger budgets. The other big winner at the Pump Room of the Ambassador East awards ceremony Saturday evening was by veteran master Marco Bellocchio of Italy, who won the Silver Hugo as best director for "Vincere," the story of Mussolini's younger brother. Giovanna Mezzogiorno and Filippo Timi won Silver Hugos as best actress and actor,...

Chicago – Last Saturday at the Chicago International Film Festival was a very important debut for the new film “Chicago Overcoat,” directed by newcomer Brian Caunter. The hometown audience gave big thumbs up to the gritty mobster film.
Filmed entirely on location in and around the Windy City, Chicago Overcoat features a veteran of “The Sopranos,” Frank Vincent (who played Phil Leotardo on that program and here plays aging hitman Lou Marazano). Lou is juggling a life-changing “final” assassination assignment, his daughter’s family problems and the nagging indignities of old age.

Chicago -- Chicago International Film Festival founder Michael Kutza wants his event to take the city's mind off last week's loss of the 2016 Summer Olympics to Rio de Janeiro.
The 45th edition of the Windy City festival kicks off Thursday with Katherine Dieckmann's high-energy comedy "Motherhood," starring Uma Thurman, Anthony Edwards and Minnie Driver.
Kutza is hoping Dieckmann's film, as well as Lars von Trier's "Antichrist," Russian director Valery Todorovsky's "Hipsters," Lee Daniels' "Precious," Ken Loach's "Looking for Eric" and local favorite Brian Caunter's "Chicago Overcoat," fill seats and garner attention.
"We've searched out first- and second-time filmmakers for the past 45 years," Kutza said. "We're always looking for that brand-new director."
Kutza is keen on Todorovsky's musical "Hipsters," which travels to 1955 Soviet Russia to glimpse young Russians getting a taste of American hype and greed. He wants it to be this year's "Slumdog Millionaire.
