Orlando (Dito)Montiel's directorial debut is a product of the Sundance Institute's Directorsand Screenwriters Labs and centres on Montiel's youth growing up in a tough NewYork neighbourhood in the 1980s.

Styler haddeveloped the script for over three years and is producing with Xingu associateTravis Swords and Original Media's Charlie Corwin and Clara Markowicz.

"Dito's own life, the basis for his book, has embracedtragedy, humour, love, poetry, violence and beauty," Styler said.

"I knew that ifwe could somehow find a way to shape a story out of these remarkable events,we'd have something very powerful, and the screenplay that eventually emergedhas exceeded anything we hoped for.'

Styler served as executiveproducer on Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, and produced the upcoming drama Alpha Male.
