Festivus, Part XXXIV.

How tremendously sweet is it that the place where my parents spent their childhoods ­– Coney Island – has a festival that has accepted their son’s film? Maybe someday one of my kids will be accepted into a fest located at a peep-show booth in Times Square.

The Coney Island Film Festival is The Beneficiary’s 34th fest, and it’s really nice to see the run continue. I wish I were in Coney Island with the film, stopping by Nathan’s for a hot dog, and an order of fries with the tiny red, plastic fork. Then riding the Cyclone and vomiting it all back up. Yeah, good times.

Thank you, Coney Island Film Festival. The best amusement-park based film festival in all of Brooklyn.
