Wanna make a bet?
I bet that there has never been a short film made about your Dad. Raise your hand if this is true. Has there ever been a short film about your Dad and your Dad's job?
[the sound of tens of raised hands being lowered.]
That's what I thought! Unless your dad is Vince McMahon, then there has never been a short film the revolves around your awesome Dad.
Well, kids, I, WILL NUNZIATA, am now in the "Filmed Dad" minority.
My Pops, former ROYAL WE producer and current retiree, BUDDY NUNZIATA, was the subject of Stephen Bono's short film, aptly titled "Buddy Nunziata."
The IFC channel sums up the film like this:
Summary:
Buddy Nunziata, a true New Yorker , breaks up the mind-numbing monotony of the morning commute for the hundreds of New Yorkers who travel through Flushing, Queens every day. Unknowingly spreading good will, knowledge and acceptance, Buddy is a true New Yorker with old world hospitality and a 21st century globalization mindset.

Breaking the mind-numbing monotony of the morning commute.
Upon seeing the film, the ROYAL WE's own MATT JOHNSON summed it up nicely with this terse critique:
"More Buddy, Less Buses."
And the world couldn't agree more.
My Dad is awesome,
WILL NUNZIATA (proud son)
