A woman’s work is never done; especially if that woman is Anat Baron. Her multi-tasking, multi-hyphenate life defies the hours of the day to stop her from making and distributing her first film. “Beer Wars†is the result.
“Who needs sleep when you have a passion,†smiles Baron, stifling a yawn. “Beer Wars†is a tale about the David versus Goliath like struggle going on in today’s beer industry between small, independent breweries and monolithic corporations. Baron is not only the creative vision behind the film, she is also the workhorse behind its release.
“I expected to make a film about an industry I love, then go through the festival circuit and then find a distributor.†Life, however, has a way of not working out the way it is supposed to.
So Baron took her film about entrepreneurship told through the story of today’s beer business – and sought out a way to make a big splash with it. She found Ben Stein and NCM/Fathom and with them, has partnered to premiere the film on April 16th at Royce Hall.
Fathom/NCM is my partner and together we will present the film followed by a live panel – moderated by Westside resident Ben Stein – about the issues raised within it on 440 screens across the country,†said Baron. Attendees get both a film and a discussion – a good deal at $15.00 a
ticket.
“I look good in hats,†Baron laughed when I asked about her professional juggling act. And good her movie/live event/panel discussion, etc is sure to be!
