Sandra Bernhard, currently starring in Everything Bad and Beautiful, and Tony Award-winning The Producers star Cady Huffman appeared at the Tribeca Film Festival to catch the new short film Twenty Dollar Drinks, in which they co-star.
"Years ago, Star (Bernhard) and Betty (Huffman) scrapped together an existence in the same
off-off-Broadway theatre company. Flash-forward to present day; Star has
a Golden Globe and Betty has…a denture commercial. When the pair reunites
at Manhattan's
latest trendy hotel bar, what begins as a catfight turns into an existential
crisis that leaves both women shaken to their core," state press notes. Twenty Dollar Drinks, which was viewed as part of the "West Side Highway" Shorts Programme, features an adaptation by David Brind (from the play by Joe Pintauro); Brind also directed. Jennifer Westin produces.
The film will be shown at these upcoming screenings: Tuesday, May 2 at 6:00 pm at PACE Pace University Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts (1 Pace Plaza, on Spruce Street between Park Row and Gold Street); Wednesday, May 3 at 10:00 pm at AMC Village VII (AV7) (66 Third Avenue, at 11th Street); and Friday, May 5 at 11:00 pm at RC05 Regal Cinemas Battery Park Cinemas 11 (102 North End Avenue at Vesey Street).
