KINGS FOR A DAY

Once a year in the Guatemalan highlands, the Maya community of Todos Santos risks life and limb in the ancient Skach Koyl horse race—an act of cultural defiance. As migration scatters the town from Guatemala to Oakland, the ritual becomes a lifeline for a people fighting erasure, racism, and fear, where survival itself is resistance.

Larry & ME

 
 

A Short film about Best Friends!

Friendships that last a life time are rare; life-long friendships between men, even rarer.  Larry King and Herb Cohen are an exception to the rule -- Their friendship lasted over 75 years.

In the late 1940s, Herb, Larry, and their crew - The Warriors - hung out, played ball, caused trouble and, most of all, had fun making memories in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. Larry Zeiger, who surpassed his dream of becoming a “radio announcer” and Herbie Cohen, who “wanted to be a lawyer” and became the best-selling author of “You Can Negotiate Anything,” remained friends throughout their adult lives.

Herb takes us on a trip down memory lane including visits to their childhood homes in Bensonhurst, the Jewish Community House, and their corner hangout. An ode to enduring male friendship, this film slyly celebrates growing up in a bygone era, getting older and what it means to lose a best friend.
