UNDISCOVERED GEMS INTERVIEW: Steve Barron, Director of "Choking Man"
by indieWIRE (March 8, 2007)
Named Best Film Not Playing at a Theater Near You at last fall's Gotham Awards,
Steve Barron's "
Choking Man" kicked off indieWIRE's
Undiscovered Gems series in February. The monthly film screening series from
Emerging Pictures (sponsored by
Sundance Channel and
The New York Times), is culled from indieWIRE's annual best undistributed film list. Barron's "Choking Man," which debuted at the
Tribeca Film Festival last year, is the story of a loner Ecuadorian diner dishwasher in Queens who falls for a new Chinese waitress.
