New Seltzer Documentary!

I am so excited to learn just now about a new documentary short focused on the amazing Gomberg Seltzer Works in Brooklyn, where all the seltzer delivery men go to get their siphons refilled.

While I once worked a few blocks away in Canarsie, I never made it for a visit. I still hope to do so for the book. Until then I hope to figure out how to watch this short.

Maybe the director, Jessica Edwards, will tell me if and how I can share it here.

Thanks to Dan Friedman, Arts and Culture Editor, The Forward, for letting me know. (More on Dan in the future and his unexpected seltzer connections...)

I just heard from the director! Details below:

    Hi Barry!

    Thanks so much for getting in touch! I saw your blog when I was researching
    the film.

    Seltzer Works is playing several film festivals this spring including one in Texas on Saturday at SXSW. Its our world premiere! I was looking for a bottler down there to get some seltzer for our party, but no luck!

    Look forward to your book! And keep me posted on how its going!

    Jessica

If you want me to see if Jessica can share some of the film with us here, please let me know!
