FAMILY DINNERS Part II: Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (1988)

The absurdity of the holidays has descended upon us and so we present Part II of FAMILY DINNERS featuring the masterful mashup of melodrama and screwball comedy by Director Pedro Almodóvar in Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.   Women on the Verge has everything: 80s fashion, drug laced gazpacho, and oh so many fuck bois. We also promised a secret link to our own films.  Some of our work is presently on the indie film festival circuit (Berlin Independent Art Film Festival - checkout Part I to learn more).  Here is a smattering of our film oeuvre from the last 15+ years*.  *Currently we are in post-production for the very first Zero Waste Feature Film, Citywide, which is due out in January!  Only 16 ounces of garbage was made over the course of almost 3 years while producing Citywide. We believe that movies should not come at the expense of the planet and so, since 2016, we have been making all of our films without generating any garbage. + + + + + + Movie streaming algorithms suck. This podcast takes you back to the days of wandering through the video store, looking to be inspired for your next movie night. Independent filmmakers Austin + Emily, of Fishtown Films, will help you stumble upon movies you've never heard of, or rediscover ones you've long forgotten. Any film you can dream of, eventually these two indie filmmakers will discuss with joy and reverence for the fine art of cinema. Grab some popcorn and stumble upon a new movie. + + + + + + Follow us on instagram @fishtownfilms to see what film we will be discussing next, drop a note for any requests, and if you are an indie filmmaker too - slide into our DMs and share with us your work. Make Art. Not Trash. Produced by Fishtown Films. Music by Paul Talos of Signal Soundlabs for our short film, Self Tape (screening at an indie film festival near you).
