On the 10th anniversary of his father\u2019s mysterious death, Gio carries on the family tradition of bringing a cake his mother (Lorraine Bracco) baked to this uncle\u2019s house for a celebration. Just two hours into the night, Gio\u2019s life is forever changed as he begins to piece together what really happened to his father and ultimately comes face to face with the type of violence he has managed to avoid his whole life.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">&#8220;We all grew up loving New York mob movies,\u201d said Jimmy Giannopoulos. \u201cIt had been a while since anyone had made one, so we decided to explore the mob today. Where they currently stand. Dealing with gentrification, weakening power, rival gangs, the realities of the Feds knocking them off. But we wanted to combine their traditional world with modern day Brooklyn. A very different\u00a0world from their glory days. We experience the ride all through the eyes of the son of a gangster who has avoided their world his entire life. But his past comes back to haunt him, and we join him for a night of chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cThis was one tasty treat,\u201d said Screen Media in a statement. \u201cThese exciting young filmmakers created a love letter to the great mob movies of the past and gave it a modern twist we know audiences are going to eat up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">After years working in short films and music with artists including Miley Cyrus, A$AP Rocky and Kid Cudi, Jimmy Giannopoulos marks his feature directorial debut from a script he co-wrote with Diomedes Raul Bermudez and Shiloh Fernandez.\u00a0<em>The Birthday Cake<\/em>\u00a0is produced by Bermudez of Purpose Films, Fernandez, Siena Oberman of Artemis Pictures, Carlos Cusc\u00f3\u00a0of Foton Pictures, and Danny Sawaf of Oceana Studios.
