TORONTO, May 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ - Sicilian Vampire, one of the most anticipated Frank D'Angelo films of the year, will start an exclusive screening this Friday May 13th at the Williamsburg Cinemas, 217 Grand Street, Brooklyn NY. This not-to-be-missed exclusive opportunity gives the New Yorker film-loving public its first chance to see one of the most talked about festival films of the year on the big screen.

Written, directed and produced by Frank D'Angelo, Sicilian Vampire stars such outstanding actors such as James Caan, Daryl Hannah, Paul Sorvino, Robert Loggia, Armand Assante, Robert Davi, Michael Paré, Eric Roberts, Daniel Baldwin, Tony Nardi and Frank D'Angelo.

Equal parts Goodfellas and Dusk till Dawn, Sicilian Vampire tells the story of reputed mobster Sonny Trafficante who was hoping to get away to the family hunting lodge for a little rest and relaxation and create some memories. Instead, what he gets is a night he will never forget in a story which takes movie lovers on a whirlwind journey of action, suspense and drama that can only come from the mind of Frank D'Angelo.

"The public anticipation for this film has been overwhelming and New York will finally be able to see the film at the Williamsburg Cinemas", says Frank D'Angelo. "It's my pleasure to share this movie, its star-studded cast, and the thrill-a-minute exciting story in a big-screen setting the way it was intended."

Frank D'Angelo has written, produced, directed and acted in four feature films in the last three years and is now completed his fifth film The Red Maple Leaf. One of his most ambitious projects to date, The Red Maple Leaf is dedicated to Robert Loggia and Doris Roberts as it was the last film that the two great actors starred in along with other Oscar-winning and nominated actors Martin Landau, James Caan, Mira Sorvino, Kris Kristofferson, Paul Sorvino, Laurie Fortier, Frank D'Angelo and many others. D'Angelo's earlier films include No Deposit (a story about a family man, who falls from grace through a series of downward spiraling events beyond his control), The Big Fat Stone (a story of a homeless man who, simply by being at the right place at the right time, gets a chance at a new life), and Frank's first film, Real Gangsters (the story of the Lo Giacomo family, one of the most successful crime syndicates in New York City), are currently in worldwide release through Video-On-Demand networks. Next month, following the exclusive screening in Brooklyn, the world can see Sicilian Vampire beginning June 1^st on Video-On-Demand.

The success of the films has spurred a national Canadian concert tour for Frank D'Angelo and his 15-piece band in which he performs songs from the soundtracks of his movies which he wrote and scored. Tour dates and venues are available at http://frankdangelo.ca/events.

Frank D'Angelo is a screen writer, director, actor, musician and Canadian talk show host. As a performer, he knew there was a big void in Canada for Canadians to promote their talents and so he created The Being Frank Show, a nationally broadcast late night talk/variety show. It has boasted guests and show business luminaries such as Al Pacino, Paul Newman, Tony Bennett, Graham Greene, Bill Fichtner, Kim Coates, Estella Warren, Bai Ling, Reggae Rapper Snow, Pavlo, Dan Hill, Ian Thomas, Murray McLauchlan, Missi Pyle, Kevin Hearn of The Barenaked Ladies and many, many more. The Being Frank Show has just completed taping its 6^th season.
