Dena Greenbaum's Crazy Country Club doc 'Warm Beer Lousy Food' comes home to Brooklyn On Demand11/13/2015 When you talk about Brooklyn's legendary Crazy Country Club, the phrase "you had to be there" definitely applies. Filmmaker Dena Greenbaum's father Steven worked at the club, and her 2012 documentary is a loving tribute to the long-gone Bay Ridge icon. Warm Beer, Lousy Food is the untold story of America's first comedy club, and its founder (and self-proclaimed nut) Lou Burdo. The film includes rare footage of the club throughout its nearly 50-year history and testimonials from the founder, staff, and patrons, breathing life back into a storied institution that, despite having been shuttered long ago, continues to live on for the many people who were forever changed by this wonderful and crazy place. When asked how she feels about her film streaming free on the only platform for Brooklyn-centric film and media, Dena says, "If I were to answer in the tone of the club I'd say 'WHO GIVES A SH*T!' But, on a more serious note, I'm very excited Warm Beer, Lousy Food is part of Brooklyn on Demand. It's important to share the story of Brooklyn's beloved Crazy Country Club with this audience. I hope it brings laughter and good memories back to Brooklynites who attended the club, and I hope it brings the club to life for younger generations that didn't get to have the firsthand experience." Watch Warm Beer Lousy Food for free online and on Roku. At 12:01 AM Tuesday, Nov.3 the award-winning mockumentary Hunter&Game went live for FREE worldwide, online and on Roku.
Brilliantly conceived and authentically constructed' — Watch This Space Film Magazine' 'Standout performances from stars Cameron Scoggins and Nico Tortorella' — The Art of Bklyn Film Festival H&G follows the members of a Brooklyn-based electronic music duo that's having a doc made about them. Think "Spinal Tap in Bushwick." The original music and supporting cast make you forget you're watching anything but a real documentary about a real band. We're very excited and proud to help give this film the exposure it deserves. H&G won Best Feature at the 2015 Art of Brooklyn Film Festival and was written and directed by Brooklyn-born-and-raised Kevin Alexander. It's Brooklyn all day long. "Brooklyn On Demand lets you watch content only from the most creative place on Earth."
