The Trouble with Cali is an American drama film directed by Paul Sorvino and written by his daughter Amanda Sorvino. It stars Sorvino, Laurence Leboeuf, Glynnis O'Connor, Raviv Ullman, Peyton List, Federico Castelluccio, Melle Mel, Joanne Baron, Frank Adonis, Mira Sorvino, and RZA.
The film will not be released in theaters as a distribution deal was not able to be successfully negotiated spurring contention with Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, residents as $500,000 in tax payer funds was used to finance the film. Subsequently, the Scranton Cultural Center hosted a free premiere of the film on July 9, 2015, with additional showings on July 10, 2015 and July 11, 2015.
