Vince Restauri's current project, 116 MacDougal, is based on his screenplay. It's the story of Dormont’s John Mitchell, the colorful founder of The Gaslight Cafe coffee house in New York City’s East Village, where many of the world's most famous musicians, songwriters, poets, novelists and comedians got their start, wrote some of their most famous works (e.g., “Blowin’ In The Wind,” “Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall”), and honed their art. Vince’s other full-length motion picture screenplays include "The Privilege," "The Senator's Fire," "Defeated" (a love story about a disgruntled husband who, finally, gives up), "Someone Better," and "House Arrest" (the entire US House of Representatives is kidnapped and driven to a secret location by two wacky, disgruntled Starbucks barristas and held hostage until broad political reforms are enacted).
