SUMMARY:West Newton Cinema presents Director's Spotlight: Drink and Be Merry
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE FILM\nSet at a struggling New York dive bar in the days approaching Christmas\, 2019\, Chet (Jefferson White)\, a beleaguered bartender in a state of extended arrested development\, must balance taking care of his difficult regulars\, who have nowhere else to go\, and rely on him for far more than pouring drinks\, with his naive desire to muster some Christmas Spirit. \nQ&A FOLLOWS THE SCREENING \nADAM VOLERICH\nFilmmaker and Podcast Producer \nThe set is his natural habitat and the crew his family. His films have screened and been awarded at festivals worldwide. His latest short film\, MISPRINT\, premiered on Omeleto\, and his feature directing debut\, DRINK AND BE MERRY\, is available to rent or buy. \nAdam is also the co-creator of the hit film podcast EYE OF THE DUCK on the Morbid Podcast Network for SiriusXM. He also produced and developed the Signal Award Winning and Ambie and Webby Nominated narrative fiction podcasts AMERICAN HOSTAGE (Amazon Originals)\, starring Jon Hamm (soon to be a TV Show from Shawn Ryan and MGM+)\, and THE FOXES OF HYDESVILLE (QCODE)\, starring Carey Mulligan\, for Criminal Content. \nETHAN WARREN\nAuthor \nEthan Warren is the author of The Cinema of Paul Thomas Anderson: American Apocrypha\, and the forthcoming When I Paint My Masterpiece: The Cinematic Dylan.
