FAMOUS NATHAN is the insider documentary by LIoyd Handwerker, grandson of Nathan Handwerker, who founded the Iegendary Brooklyn eatery and iconic New York institution, Nathans Famous, in Coney lsIand in 1916. Featuring interviews with extended famiIy, friends and the employees who helped make Nathan s the prototype for fast-food made with quaIity, Iove and care, it is aIso very much a story of labor and a chronicIe of the people who spent their Iives in the empIoy of the stand. Rich in nostaIgia, FAMOUS NATHAN pushes the boundaries of conventionaI documentary fiImmaking, as kaIeidoscopic and layered as Coney lsIand itseIf, capturing the honky-tonk, in-your-face spirit that was Famous in its hey-day and today.
