We had so much to talk about at this year's Hamptons International Film Festival that we had to do our podcast in two parts. In part two we start with "Red Penguins." It was a last-minute entry into the festival and you'll be able to tell why the festival's director was so eager to get it in there. We talk to director Gabe Polsky about his depiction of capitalism and opportunism run amok - complete with gangsters, strippers and live bears serving beer on a hockey rink in Moscow. It all happened when the Pittsburgh Penguins bought the fabled Russian National Hockey Team. And you'll hear from Steven Warshaw, whose job it was to make the whole deal come together. Then we hear from Tania Cypriano. She made "Born to Be" which tells how Dr. Jess Ting took on a new role as the lead gender-affirming suregeon at the Mount Sinai Center. It's as current a topic as there is now days. And finally, we have director Matthew Miele who talks to us about his documentary "Alan Pakula: Going for the Truth." It's all about the director of such landmark films as "All the President's Men," "Sophie's Choice" and "To Kill a Mockingbird." It's more than a podcast can handle but it's all right here!
