Synopsis: Inspired by actual events, ‘44’ is the story of Migs, an 18 year old high school student trapped between the tow opposing forces of his father, a drug dealer and convicted felon, and his mother, an NYPD Cop.  For the last two years, Migs has been leading a double life; his ambitious yet arrogant father has placed Migs in charge of his drug operation while he is incarcerated.  At the same time, Migs is living with his well-meaning but hot-tempered mother.  Now, with his father out of prison and attempting to regain control of his business, and his mother trying to regain control of her son’s life, Migs is forced to make difficult choices and find his own destiny.

Director’s Bio: Miguel Aviles or “Migs” started making ‘movies’ as a small child in his bedroom.  Armed with a passion for storytelling and a love for cinema, he went to NYFA and began developing his skills as an editor and filmmaker.  He began making short films and music videos almost immediately.  Miguel has also worked in television with networks such as MTV and on both corporate and commercial productions.  In the summer of 2004, while teaching editing in Italy, he began developing the foundation of his fist feature film.  Having written the script in the course of 4 days, he undertook an intensive pre-production process.  After amassing his crew and solidifying his script, he began shooting ‘44’ in the early spring of 2006.  ‘44’ marks the young Director’s feature film debut.
