Storyline
Set in the Queens neighborhood known as "Little Athens", ASTORIA centers around a blue-collar Greek-American family and its struggle to hold on to the American Dream. It follows the journey of 28-year-old Alex and his desire to escape his stagnant neighborhood and pursue an off-beat dream that will take him to the lost tomb of Alexander the Great. Alex must overcome his Old World-minded father's plans - expanding the family business, a small corner eatery, and contending with some local wiseguys intent on collecting his dad's gambling debt. When Alex becomes enchanted with a beautiful iconographer, visiting from Greece, things take another turn... Written by

I saw this at the New York screening last year. The director, Nick, was my directing teacher at St. Francis College. The movie is great on all levels. Great camerawork, great acting, touching performances (Dr. Setrakian is #1) and a whole lot more. If you can get your hands on this, you won't regret it!!
