Fighting Tommy Riley premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival and then went on to play at the Hamptons Film Festival (where it won the Kodak Award) and at the San Francisco Film Festival. The film was well received and opened theatrically in Los Angeles, New York City and San Francisco. It is currently available on Netflix.
