Mr. Schwartz's Hollywood Debut

“The summer before the pandemic hit I stumbled upon a film crew in Coney Island,” says art teacher and prolific painter Mr. Schwartz. “Being nosey, I asked what was filming and was told a documentary about the history of French fries. I met the director, Anthony Bourdain's tv series director named Michael Steed, and after he learned that I was the son of the man who was the manager of Nathan's in the 60's, Michael asked if I would agree to be interviewed for the film.”
After sweating through a 95 degree boardwalk interview for half an hour, Mr. Schwartz made it into the film Fries The Movie, which was featured in the most recent Tribeca Film Festival!
