Meet the Bands
In the coming weeks, I’ll be doing my best to showcase all the musicians who appear in my feature documentary “Hank’s Saloon”.
First up: Brooklyn’s own Apache Brown Band performing “Be My Husband”. Live at Hank’s Saloon, December 2, 2018.
As things progress, you will be able to watch all the performances here.
Thank you, Nitehawk!
As a grassroots indie filmmaker who spent literal years holed up in a small room creating a movie—and always wondering how it would go over—there is nothing wilder or more fulfilling than sitting back and watching it unfold in real time in front of a packed theater.
Thank you, Nitehawk Cinema Prospect Park, for bringing back “Hank’s Saloon” for yet another big sold-out screening!
And thank you to the literal hundreds of people who came and made this night one to remember.

“Hank’s Saloon” on the NYHC Chronicles
On March 1st, I got to discuss my feature documentary “Hank’s Saloon”, with New York City’s own New York Hardcore Chronicles podcast!
Hosted by acclaimed director Drew Stone (“All Ages: The Boston Hardcore Film”, “Who the Fuck Is That Guy? The Fabulous Journey of Michael Alago”, and “The New York Hardcore Chronicles”, among many others), the show also featured special appearances by two characters from the film: former Hank’s booker Lee Greenfeld of Dead Flowers Productions, and writer/musician Benjamin Howard Smith of the legendary New York City band The Brought Low.

World Premiere Pics
My feature documentary “HANK’S SALOON” celebrated its World Premiere on Monday, January 26th at Nitehawk Cinema Prospect Park in Brooklyn, New York.
The afterparty, held in Nitehawk’s Trees Lounge bar, was truly epic.
The official party photos are now online, courtesy of Désirée De Sade.

“The closing of Hank’s was devastating because it cut us off from a certain type of bar culture, where you can just sit and chat and be part of an atmosphere that felt like anything goes.”
Huge thanks to Kaya Laterman of Brooklyn’s own BK Reader, for taking the time to write about my new Hank’s Saloon documentary.
