Ciro Dapagio

From the Web To Cinemas, MobKing is a Name to Reckon With

by Brad Balfour

With a name like Mike White one might assume he's a pretty bland character — one who might blend into the background. But like so many things that seem to be background-able, there's much more to the story. 

Rather than being a simple everyman, White's a "rehabilitated" gangster who has distinguished himself as a man of honor — a standup guy.

But once he's released from a lengthy prison sentence, he finds himself a target. Miami's most notorious criminal organization wants him dead and silenced.

This has been the premise of both MobKing — the web series — and the recently wrapped film which is based on it. One of the key reasons the online MobKing project has garnered millions of loyal followers from around the world, has been because of the authenticity that its creator Ciro Dapagio brought to the table. 

A fascinating personality in and of itself, the Miami native did his own time in prison as well. A former participant of Florida's organized crime network, he too served a considerable amount of time in prison for RICO violations. After being released, he pivoted, shaping a film and television career from his life experiences. 

As Dapagio explained, "Spending a considerable amount of time in prison can go a very long way in changing your perspective on your life's course and how you should live your life. There's nothing cool about a life of crime. I wanted to do something in this life that my kids can be proud of. I want to create a better second half of my life than the first half." 

With that in mind, he joined forces with award-winning director Jorge "Jokes" Yanes, who first worked on The MobKing web series and then co-wrote and directed the film. Growing up a first-generation Cuban American in the dirty south of Miami, Yanes was given the moniker "Jokes" from his graffiti artist tag. Eventually, he put down the can and started moviemaking. He had his breakthrough success as the creative director of The Roof, a prime-time Latin Urban music show on Telemundo's MUN2 where he became the first to program Reggaeton on US television. 

In the early 2000s, Yanes made videos for artists such as T-Pain, Plies, Mike Jones, and Slim Thug. He directed one of YouTube's first viral videos, "GroundHog Day" by Mayday Ft. CeeLo Green. In 2009, Jokes won an Emmy for editing Gabriel: Amor Immortal, the first American style-miniseries done for Spanish TV. After his success in the music and television scene, Jokes turned to narrative film debuting with the feature Eenie Meenie Miney Moe (2013) which premiered at the Miami Film Festival and received worldwide distribution. In 2013, Jokes started working with the Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation to create philanthropic films on such subjects as addiction. Since then, he has directed and produced countless works for clients such as HBO, Complex, Universal Music, Atlantic Records, and Rolling Loud.

MobKing also stars a mix of established names such as James Russo who was in Donnie Brasco. Russo transformed into the role of Dominick "Dom" Sasso, the Capo di Tutti Capi of South Florida's Sasso crime family — a respected yet ruthless leader, necessary when it comes to protecting his family interests. 

Also in the film is the heavily tattooed veteran character actor Robert LaSardo — seen in many series such as Burn Notice and in films such as Clint Eastwood's The Mule. Then there's Paul Borghese, a familiar face in mob movies such as Martin Scorcese's The Irishman. Rounding out the cast is noted up-and-comers such as Stelio Savante (Acre Beyond the Rye), Antoni Corone (We Own the Night), Elisabetta Fantone (Big Eyes), Bruce Soscia (Gravesend) and fresh faces such as Oksana Lada, Artie Pasquale, and Anthony Caliendo.

In order to make his idea a reality, Dapagio joined forces with Krystal Harvey of Tiger Shark, Inc. who serves as a producer and represents Anthony Caliendo of MAINMAN Productions, Inc. as well as Ciro Dapagio Films, LLC. Caliendo is an Executive Producer as well. With Caliendo, he has formed Button Man Films, LLC for future film and TV endeavors. 

In order to elaborate on his evolution from ex-con to executive producer and creator, Dapagio spoke about turning his life around after several years in prison for RICO violations as a former member of organized crime in Florida. 

What did you learn through the success of the web series MobKing?

What surprised me the most was how well the web series was received by viewers. Their amazing response is what generated millions of views and created such an incredible fanbase for the MobKing brand. We had no expectations, so its success is truly remarkable. 

What unique challenges did you face in turning the MobKing web series into the feature film — MobKing. 

Oddly enough I didn't see any challenges. In my opinion, the process was remarkably easy. It flowed naturally, from the storytelling to the production of it.

Describe the character Mike White who you play In both the web series and the film.

Mike is a hard-nosed family man. He's not afraid to push buttons to go after what he wants and needs to do in order to protect his family. He has to dig deep and find the inner power to maneuver through all of the conflicting elements in his life and come out on top. 

The authenticity that you bring to these projects has stirred quite a buzz. This is in no small part because you're transparent about your past as a former participant in Florida organized crime where you spent a serious amount of time in prison for RICO violations. 

I'm transparent about it because I feel it's important for young people to realize that crime is a dead end. There's no such thing as easy money or a fast buck because its repercussions are ten-fold. You end up broke, locked up and away from your family. And that's if you even manage to survive the racket in the first place. So, in the film, I get the beats right about organized crime which is hard to do in movies. In my opinion, the reason so many mob movies fail is their lack of authenticity. They all seem to be stuck in the "Soprano-esque" cliché mode of "I'd better get my money." In MobKing, I put a completely different, original spin on a classic mob tale, based on things that I may or may not have seen in my lifetime.

Underutilized trope reverse haters or villains sustained by the hate of their victims families or the protag. BlazBlue did it beautifully with Yuuki Terumi a Ghost that was kept in existence by the wannabe god computer trio takamagahara and so forced to do their bidding. He manipulated the protag into hating him so much it verified his existence and let him kill them. Also the mad mobk in magatsu barai where in the route you kill him without getting the western excorsist that he forced to eat his own lover to let go of his hate he reincarnates chest burster style using it as a catalyst

You know, I still haven't gotten into BlazBlue despite years of people recommending it...

𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 - 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐮𝐞

"Nk joj oz gmgot", they say looking out the window. "O qtuc, juky nk tuz qtuc zngz nk corr xkikobk gt kbkt cuxyk vatoynsktz tuc?" One responds while scoffing. "Vkxngvy, zngz oy cngz nk cgtzy", One suggests unhelpfully. "[REDACTED] oy zgrqotm zu nos, ck payz ngbk zu mobk uaz znk vatoynsktz tuznotm suxk. Ck ynuarj tuz huznkx uaxykrbky cozn znkyk sktogr zgyqy", the highest one states, and the others nod in agreement. They all turn towards the door expectantly.

“You know you are not allowed to interfere with the mortals”, [REDACTED] said looking down at [REDACTED]. [REDACTED] knew this, he just couldn’t help it. They were just so fascinating. The way they seemed to survive any hardship, and their determination. Not to mention those mortals in Khaenri’ah who seemed to reject the gods but still live on. “I hope you are listening right now [REDACTED], this is the third time you’ve done this. The only reason you’re still here is because the [REDACTED] pities you”, they said coldly. Gods weren’t supposed to feel, that was only something mortals did, but [REDACTED] could only assume that the sharp stabbing in what was supposed to be his heart could only indicate that it was sadness. Or perhaps disappointment. He pushed that thought aside. Now is not the time to be weak. As [REDACTED] stares into their eyes he can’t see anything except for a void- an empty abyss of nothingness. 

No emotions. 

No nothing.

Exactly how a god was supposed to be. How he was supposed to be. 

“I am, and I know that. I’m telling you it won’t happen again”, he finally says and in response, they just scoff: “That’s what you say every time.” They start walking toward judgment, and he followed shortly after holding tightly to his book. He could feel his fingers tremble the closer he got to judgment. He could barely lift his gaze from the ground as he heard the doors open and the light shines through. 

He just wishes that he’ll get to keep his book after the punishment.

It was empty.

Dark too.

[REDACTED] checked that he still had his book. Once he confirmed that he looked around but he seemed to be the only one there.

“You are the only one here”, a voice suddenly echoed. The voice had no body, at least not one he could see. “There’s no point looking around”, it continued. “Where am I?” he asked. “Nowhere, yet everywhere at the same time. You are in the space between space and time. This is the Far Reach”, the voice announced. [REDACTED] had never heard of a place like that before. 

A place between space and time? How would that even work? 

[REDACTED] pushed away his questions, he could ask those later. There were more important questions to be asked. “I know you have a lot of questions. But everything will come in due time. For now, I’ll explain why you are here”, the voice pauses for what [REDACTED] assumes is dramatic effect before it continues: “This is your punishment.”

That surprises him. What kind of punishment was this? Were they just going to leave him here for a while? That can’t be it, he thinks, they’ve given him worse punishments before. Is this a joke? He thinks before crossing off that thought completely, the gods don’t joke. “I can sense some doubt in you. Does this not live up to your expectation of a proper punishment?” It asks though it sounds more like a statement than a question. It didn’t. In all honestly [REDACTED] was expecting a lot more than... Well, whatever this was. “As expected”, the voice cut through, “the [REDACTED] suspected a normal punishment wouldn’t be enough for you. This would have been enough to make most gods start crying, I suppose you are different.” 

Crying? 

That’s one thing [REDACTED] didn’t expect to hear. Just being in this place would have made gods cry? His eyebrows furrowed at the thought. “Well, worry not. For this is just where you will reside until we are able to give you your punishment”, the voice continued. “As for how long it will take, we are unsure. Though, you will understand when the time comes.” Then as soon as the voice said that it disappeared. “Wait! I still have questions”, [REDACTED] shouted but the silence was his only response. Guess I’ll just have to wait, he sighed as he sat down. The ground was weird, he realized, felt like water but wasn’t wet. This place just becomes odder and odder.

He thought of just using his spell to teleport to the mortals' realm but ultimately decided against it. He didn’t really want to anger the [REDACTED] any more than he already had. So he just resigned himself to his fate and waited. 

And waited.

And waited.

It felt like seven moons had gone by but nothing had happened- or changed. He was still stuck in the empty void with the weird floor. But he didn’t even have the voice to distract himself with. It hadn’t come back even once since it left and [REDACTED] can’t help but wonder if something happened to it. Though, thinking about it logically, he doubts anyone could really do anything to a voice. He groans as he rolls around on the ground still trying to get used to the odd sensations that come with it. Been here for seven moons and I’m still not used to it. He hums to himself. Though, I doubt seven moons have actually passed- time probably works differently here. If at all. I am in a place between space and time.

Letting himself get lost in his own head once again he fails to notice the white light seemingly engulfing the once dark and empty void. Nor does he seem to notice how his head gets hazier and hazier.

She was right...

Three weeks. Only three weeks since she came to the Vale in Pandaria, yet to Sharyssa it felt like years. She arrived full of confidence, barely aware of the true extent of the danger. If not for her new aquaintnce opening her eye to the truth, she would have died already.

The days when the mantid swarm tried to take over felt the easiest, Shar could blast them out of the sky , working in tandem with other mages while the melee fighters took care of the targets on land. The company didn’t lose anyone, and her confidence grew... only to run into a ‘wall’ of stone dubbed mogu. Their war serpents were just as vicious as their titanforged riders, the combined might of her company barely enough to repel them, and not without sacrifices. A tauren druid was the first to return to the Earthmother, his bear form eventually giving out under the heavy blows of their foes while covering the party’s retreat, followed by a blood elf pyromancer receiving the lightning breath of a serpent headfirst. And things only went downhill from that point.

“To think I’d cry back the mogu invasion...” Sharyssa muttered, rubbing the sleep out of her eye. She didn’t sleep much, the nightmares waking her up gasping through the night. “Setting my wards did nothing, huh?” She stifled a yawn and stretched. It should have been early morning, but the sky was covered by the unnatural darkness. She looked at the row of different gems placed on the small table, picking an azure-colored one to be her right eye today. The original ruby lay in a separate box, dull of light. “Haaaaa... I wish I knew how to repair the enchantment in it after overdrawing its power. At least it didn’t break, unlike the substitues I’ve enchanted.”

She barely finished dressing when she heard the banging on the door. “Sharyssa, come quickly, Agnus and the others are getting overwhelmed!”

The young nightborne cursed, grabbing her pouch-belt and rushed out. “I’m here Tiandi, tell me details as we get there.”

***

The flying carpet Sharyssa and the pandaren mobk were using was a gift from her mother, sent after her via a courier. “This is insane, the two of us won’t make any difference!” She exclaimed, already horrified by the corrupted landscape. “I know, but noone else could be spared. We have to try!” Tiandi replied, directing the carpet to the location where the night guard was last reported.

Shar’s breath was caught by the sight that greeted them: the hulking minions of N’zoth were destroying the base with only a disheartheningly small batch of survivors trying to escape with their lives. “Tiandi, put me down, now! You stay here, I will get the survivors!” The pandaren wanted to argue, but a glare from the arcanist silenced him.

***

Agnus closed his eyes as the tentacle-limb of a giant faceless one was swiftly descending towards him, it was over. One second passed, then another, and he finally looked up to see his attacker struggling with the arcane shackles binding its flesh.

“Come on, Agnus, I can’t hold it off forever!” Sharyssa shouted at the other nightborne, beads of sweat rolling down her face, outstretched arms shaking from the strain of binding the beast. “Quickly!”

The two elves made a hasty retreat towards the carpet, Shar constantly summoning small arcane shields to cover the backs of the others in her vicinity. In the end, only Agnus and two others made it out alive. “Up on the carpet, Move it!” Tiandi growled, pulling up a troll while Agnus and Sharyssa helped up a blood elf. “Alright, let’s go!”

“Shar, something is wrong, we’re barely gaining altitude!” The pandaren called back, his expression switching from anxiety to sheer horror instantly. The arcanist twisted her head as well and gasped: a massive blast of destructive energy was heading straight towards them, it was impossible to dodge with this many passengers.

Gritting her teeth, Sharyssa pulled all the magic stored in the gem and after merging it with her own, channeled it to form a multi-layered mana-shield. The fifht layer was barely finished when the hostile magic hit. The young nightborne grunted in pain as blood seeped from her right eyesocket, the gem obviously cracked and cut into her flesh as she blacked out. The conjured shield barely contained the blast, but the shockwave was enormous.

“Sharyssaaaa!” Agnus’s pained cry woke the young arcanist only to find herself falling. With another grunt of pain, she finished casting, slowing down her descent. “Go, we will meet up at the Shrine!” She called to her friends,  as maneuvering the carpet to pick her up would just put the whole rescue mission into jeopardy. “Just go!” She cried for the last time, waving them on as she descended further and further. The anguished faces of Agnus and Tiandi remained clear in her memory even after they vanished from her sight.

“Alright... it will be a long walk after I land.” Sharyssa muttered to herself, too caught up in surveying the area of her landing to notice the new danger until the last second. “Wha-” The breath was forced from Shar’s body as the tentacle smashed into her.

Sharyssa hit the ground roughly, her vision a blur as her body kept rolling, out of the tentacle’s reach, only to be stopped by a bush. If not for the enchantments in her armor, her now-shattered necklace and the fact she almost reached the ground when hit, she would have been already dead.

“She... was right...” The concerned visage of the nice sin’dorei monk was the last image in Shar’s mind before darkness claimed her.
