Cousins Marco Ricci and Michael Canzoniero's award-winning short film Pishadoo is the comedic story of a young man who struggles to learn the family business. (The term Pishadoo is Italian/American slang for a "botched haircut.") Set in a Bronx barbershop, the film stars Nicholas DeCegli, Catherine Narducci, and Ray Iannicelli and features the debut performance of young actor Matthew Bonifacio.

Groomed as the heir apparent to the family business, Freddy Ricatello quickly finds out that cutting hair is not as simple as it seems. After one week on the job, he's given more pishadoo's than either he or his father can count. (Pishadoo is Italian slang for a botched haircut) But Freddy is not easily beaten and with an earnestness matched only by his incompetence, he sets out to prove to that he has what it takes.
