Wiki.
High Chicago (also released as A Family Man) is a 2011 drama film. Director Alfons Adetuyi and his brother, screenwriter Robert Adetuyi, used locations in their home town of Sudbury, Ontario when making the film.The film had its US premier at the 2012 Pan African Film Festival in February 2012. It had its Toronto premier at the 2012 ReelWorld Film Festival in April 2012. In an interview in Shadow and Act magazine Adetuyi revealed that his film about a father with a dream was based on one of his own father's dreams. His father had dreamed of opening a North American style drive-in movie theatre in Africa.
The film was Adetuyi's first feature film, although he and his brothers had run a film production company, Inner City Films, for over a decade.
Angelo Muredda praised the film for an absence of the mistakes beginning directors usually make on their debut feature films.
Adetuyi told the Sudbury Star shortly after the release of High Chicago that he planned to return to Sudbury to shoot a second film, as he saw High Chicago as the first in an "African trilogy".
