A couple years back, while doing some work for the reopening of the storied Brooklyn, NY restaurant Gage & Tollner, we had the honor and pleasure of meeting Wade Siler Sr. and we asked if he'd be willing to share a little of his story with us.
Wade recently passed away at the age of 96 and while it was never quite finished, we felt compelled to release what we do have in tribute to him.
Known to many as “Wade Sinclair” or the “singing maitre’ d,” Wade was beloved for his effervescent charm, sincere hospitality, and absolutely killer baritone voice. He was as much a fixture of Gage & Tollner as the gas chandeliers for the latter third of the 20th century; he started as the restaurant’s head bartender in 1969, and in two short years moved up to assistant general manager, then maitre’ d. For over 30 years, Wade served as the face, and the heart, of Gage & Tollner, up to the day the restaurant closed in 2004.
Wade is survived by his loving children and grandchildren, and his legacy will live on at Gage & Tollner for as long as the restaurant stays standing.

A Rare Look Inside Trump’s Immigration Crackdown Draws Legal Threats

Get ready for an intense ride behind the scenes with ICE in the latest big time project by friends, collaborators, and fantastic filmmakers Shaul Schwarz, Christina Clusiau and many, many more. Congratulations all 👏🏻
This documentary series offers a unique and nuanced view of the ongoing struggles in America's broken immigration system. SUBSCRIBE: http://bit.ly/29qBUt7 Ab...
"As you might imagine, I have watched Starboard Light many, many...many times. So it was with no small amount of surprise and feeling that I found myself crying with frequency when I watched it again for the first time in many years just a few weeks ago. They were good, heart-warming tears though. I didn't realize quite how much I needed them in these times of pandemic-inspired uncertainty and stress. They did a body good and a soul good too. I've been meaning ever since to share the film again together with the best discount I can afford to provide so as to make the owning of the film as cheap as possible for you. I hope it does for you what it did for me and more. Just use discount code: APARTTOGETHER with the digital download."
Sometimes the greatest adventure is the journey home. A love letter to loss spanning five generations, Starboard Light is an inspiring and poignant documentary that shows us how to hold on and asks: does a family make a house? or does a house make a family?
Please consider participating by sharing your COVID-19 stories in video and by sharing this global project with any and all in your life. https://bit.ly/thecovid19story

Best all-time comment in response to Starboard Light!
"I think I watched this film ten times while it was on Netflix. Something little would happen during the day that threw my mind back into childhood and then nostalgia would set in and then nothing would help but a hot cup of coffee and Starboard Light. I love this film." – Shelley Sykes

We specialize in the production of cinematic documentary and narrative films and series. We’re nimble, adaptable, and believe deeply in the projects we undertake.
Disconnection is the greatest threat to our humanity and to our planet.
Connection is therefore our greatest responsibility and delight to inspire.
Stories are a path to connection because humans understand the world based on the stories we’re told, and those we tell ourselves.
And cinema done right has a magical ability to connect us so that no matter what, who, when, or how far away, the story inspires the kind of emotional connection that you feel for what’s right in front of you.
So at redfitz, we are devoted to telling human stories for a better world.
Collectively these types of stories can create the new mythology humanity and the planet so desperately need. We might call new mythology “protopian” in that it will inspire and teach us how to truly connect with and love each other and the planet.Human stories for a small world. Brooklyn-based cinematic documentary and narrative film production.
Land is the only thing worth killing, worth fighting, worth lying, and worth dying for. After a devastating hurricane lays waste to their homes, Barbudans must overcome a second and potentially even greater threat—the sale of their island to foreign interests in the name of rebuilding, upending 300 years of communal land ownership.

Just watched your 'Conflict' on netflix. Fantastic. Will be keeping an eye out for you and your work. Thank you for reminding us that we are all complicit.
Donna Ferrato was the first photographer to photograph domestic violence, which had a lasting impact on the way domestic violence is reported and discussed.
As part of our Redfitz Conflict series, we spoke to Donna about her life and her work. We are pleased to see further exploration of her journey and photography in the new TIME Red Border Films series.
Happy birthday Donna!
