Raising Victor Vargas (2003) directed by Peter Sollett

Coming-of-age film about NYC teen Victor Vargas traversing through the Lower East Side looking for love, much to his traditional grandma's chagrin. His younger brother Nino idolizes Victor and is trying to find his own place in the world while discovering his sexuality...also, much to the chagrin of his strict grandma.

Sweet, honest little film from 2003. My husband loved it when it came out and couldn't wait until our kids were old enough to appreciate it to show it to them.

Debut performances from future stars Victor Rasuk (Lords of Dogtown) and Melonie Diaz (Itty Bitty Titty Committee & Be Kind Rewind)!
