Christopher Meloni<\/a> is keeping it all in the family for his next film project.<\/p>\n

The veteran star teamed with his daughter, Sophia Meloni<\/a>, for a role in her feature directorial debut called Chop Cheese, alongside a cast that includes Michael Gandolfini<\/a>, Luca Rickman<\/a>, Anki Alvarez and Dylan Frankel<\/a>. The film is described as a coming-of-age story set in New York\u2019s bodega culture. It follows a 16-year-old boy as he reckons with manhood while vying for \u201cboss\u201d status from the grill master at the local bodega, only to learn that respect has a price and must be earned.<\/p>\n

Sophia Meloni wrote and directed the film, which was produced by Lisa Rudin<\/a>. Nailing the family focus, Chop Cheese was inspired by a short story the fledgling filmmaker wrote in college while observing the teenage years of her younger brother, Dante, as he was living out a phase of \u201cradical self-discovery\u201d in New York City.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
