It was a bachelor’s life for hard-working and fun-loving Ray Ray Domingguez who dreams of leaving the barrio for a more carefree existence in Miami. That’s until one day when everything changed – and he became a reluctant “Tio Papi” to his sister’s six children ages 6 to 16. Now in charge of raising this energetic (and expensive)clan, Ray Ray must make important decisions on what life is really all about. Combining heart-warming drama with light hearted comedy, “Tio Papi”, directed by Fro Rojas from the original screenplay by Joey Dedio and Brian Herskowitz, is an upbeat story of life’s unexpected surprises and ultimately what matters the most — the love of family. TIO PAPI opens in theatres September 6th, 2013.

TIO PAPI is a film that is breaking Latino stereotypes. It is being compared as the Latino “Cosby” Show.
Joey Dedio is really making things happen: Not only in the Latino world, but in independent film period. He is being called ‘The Latino Tyler Perry’. He is a great producer and his hard work and contribution to the community should not go unnoticed. His heartfelt stories are putting Latinos in great inspiring roles that are breaking stereotypical barriers around the world.
