about the film

22 mins, Color

After transitioning at 59, larger-than-life New Jersey native Micky Angelo Petrillo is finally living as the man he was born to be — and he has no intention of doing it quietly.

Now 62, Micky barrels through his next act with humor, candor, and an irresistible need to connect. Through unexpected friendships, hard-won wisdom, and the everyday absurdity of being seen differently by the world, he discovers that reinvention is rarely graceful—but it can be a hell of a lot of fun.

Warm, funny, and gloriously unpolished, CALL ME MICKY is a joyful character portrait of a man who waited six decades to become himself—and is making up for lost time.
