That bodes well for his ability to tackle this monumental figure.” - New York Magazine Vulture

Experience Bernstein like never before in Director Douglas Tirola’s latest documentary, BERNSTEIN’S WALL.

We’re honored BERNSTEIN'S WALL is included in Tribeca Film Festival Documentary Spotlight series among other incredible films like Roadrunner, following the colorful life of Anthony Bourdain.

“The program will also train the spotlight on two quintessential New Yorkers, Leonard Bernstein and Anthony Bourdain — outsize personalities tortured by demons yet gifted beyond measure…That the two are so tied to the city that never sleeps makes them signature Tribeca offerings.” - The Hollywood Reporter

Franky Marshall Interview

A great piece of advice that we try never to lose sight of, especially as our industry adapts to this new world.

Franky Marshall is a bartending legend, mentor, mentee and all around character that you can’t help noticing in a crowded bar. She’s worked at some of the most impressive cocktail bars in New York including Clover Club, the Dead Rabbit and Le Bo***ir.

We’ve been fortunate enough to work with her multiple times since we filmed Hey Bartender and she always manages to make us laugh, brining a certain level of charm along with her unique quirkiness, to any project.

Thank you for these words of wisdom, Franky!

John Goodman Interview

#Repost from Douglas Tirola

John Goodman is an Emmy and Golden Globe Winner and an incredibly generous, funny and insightful person. We were honored to interview him for our documentary DRUNK STONED BRILLIANT DEAD.

Here’s a clip that didn’t make it into the film, about finding like-minded people when you see the world different than most.

Lynette Marrero

#Repost of Doug Tirola, director of our 2013 film Hey Bartender.

An inspiring quote from Lynette Marrero taken from an interview in 2011. Lynette is one of the most prominent bartenders in the world and blazed a path for women in the industry: together with Ivy Mix she founded Speed Rack, an all-female high-speed bartending competition designed to highlight up-and-coming women in the cocktail industry and give back to those impacted by breast cancer.

You also might have recently caught Lynette in her first MasterClass with Ryan Chetiyawardana as the they teach you the techniques and skills of a mixologist and how to make amazing cocktails.

In this clip, she explains the role of mentorship in the bartending industry.

Edward Albee

REPOST from Douglas Tirola

-

Found this interview we did over ten years ago with Edward Albee in his amazing Tribeca loft for our documentary MAKING THE BOYS.

Here is a question I asked him that didn’t make it into the film. Thankfully he didn’t laugh or refuse to answer based on the length of my question. Notice how the camera movement seems to be projecting my own nervousness.

Since it’s Edward Albee he still managed to be brilliant despite my adolescent interview skills.
