“The multi-talented Matt Mitler has had a varied career that's included starring roles in '80s b-horror movies such as The Mutilator (1985) as well as voiceovers for the Pokemon empire. Somewhere in between he found time to write, direct, and star in this odd little indie gem about his alter ego, a misunderstood Lenny Bruce-type with a bit of a temper who mucks about the LES — back when there were more drugs and fewer Starbucks.”
Chris Kompanek, Flavorpill
Special 15th anniversary screening. Director/star Matt Mitler in person for post-screening Q&A.
“It’s Mitler’s show from beginning to end. And his thorough immersion in his role – not to mention his filmmaking technique, signals a cult figure in the making.”
– Andrew Johnston, Time Out New York
Danny Gold is a performance artist with an endless amount of energy whose brilliance is exceeded only by his urge to self-destruct. Follow him as he rockets and ricochets through Manhattan’s seedy Lower East Side, along the way encountering the hip scenesters of the mid-nineties. Don’t miss this one time only screening of a film that is a rare portrait of New York in the not too distant past.
Director: Matt Mitler. 90 min. 1994. 35mm.
