Tugs: A New Short Film About Tugboats

We have a brand new short on the scene! TUGS premiered at the 2011 South By South West Film Festival in Austin, Texas and is currently screening at festivals around the country.

In some ways a companion piece to SELTZER WORKS, our new film profiles the cutest boats on the waterways of New York Harbor, celebrating (as Seltzer Works does) a previous era in the city.

Check out the website for more info on screenings and how you can order the new TUGS mug!

Thanks Seattle!

We got a very nice shout out this week from the Seattle Jewish Film Festival. Their audiences voted us the Best Short of the festival!

We are tickled like the seltzer bubbles in the back of your throat!

We’re Gonna Be In Pictures!

To celebrate our upcoming broadcast premiere on POV, the award winning documentary program on PBS, we thought we would share some of the great press we have received during our festival run.

During our Hot Docs screening in May, a wonderful food writer saw the film and was inspired to write a story about Magda, Canada’s OWN last Seltzer bottler. She interviewed us for the article which was first published in MacLeans and then The Atlantic picked it up. Twice! And the Brooklyn section of the New York Daily News wrote about us for one of our Rooftop Films Screenings.

The film is still playing at festivals around the country, check back on the Screenings page for more info.

And we were so excited to see one of our favorite movies, The Thin Man keeping the seltzer close by. This mug needs it to mix with his whiskey. “A Manhattan you always shake to fox-trot time”
