Writer-Producer-Director Michael Fiore discusses with Jan Price, his new documentary, Veselka: The Rainbow on the Corner at the Center of the World – narrated by Golden Globe award-winner David Duchovny and featuring Grammy Award-winning saxophonist David Sanborn!
Veselka recently had its world premiere at the Santa Barbara Film Festival and is 100% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes! Veselka is currently playing in select theaters – watch the trailer here: https://youtu.be/-nOYF8vYYtE?si=g26LPl4XgNh6GpuV
As the second-generation owner of New York's beloved Ukrainian restaurant Veselka reluctantly retires after 54 years, his son Jason faces the pressure of stepping into his father's shoes as the war in Ukraine impacts his family and staff.
New York-based Michael Fiore is quickly becoming the Frank Capra of documentary storytelling with the release of Veselka. As with his previous documentary, the beloved Floyd Norman: An Animated Life (Netflix, TCM, Criterion Channel), Michael turns his lens towards people who stand up for a cause, the marginalized, and those who are dismissed amidst power. These are people who are the bright lights in a world leaning into darkness.
