This year we are excited to announce the return of Patrick Gallo, who was one of the earliest guest celebrities of the MIFF in 2003. Mr. Gallo’s career has certainly been exceptional, with his recent roles alongside Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci in Martin Scorscese’s “The Irishman” and his breakout performance as Mario Puzo in Paramount’s “The Offer.” He was also a star of the locally-shot cult comedy classic “I’ll Believe You!”  Mr. Gallo is expected to share his journey, wit, and experience with the festival patrons when he receives an achievement award at the MIFF.
