West of Brooklyn movie

West of Brooklyn takes us on a heartfelt and often humorous journey from Brooklyn, New York to Hollywood, California. Sebi (Ronnie Marmo) is a young Italian American man, a simple street kid and a secret beat poet, who after the death of his mother (Liz Torres) escapes Brooklyn to join his crew of friends who recently relocated to L.A. These colorful characters from New York are truly fish out of water in L.A. and Sebi longs to find a place he can feel at home. Sebis friends, a beautiful rich girl from Beverly Hills named Matty (Natalia Livingston), and his idol, a famous Bronx poet named Gaetano DAmico (Joe Mantegna) bring Sebi face to face with his identity and help him find the courage to be exactly who he was all along.
