THE ORDER OF MYTHS at Bell House (4/28)

Brooklyn Based is a neat new collective that provides, in their own words, “Three emails a week that will turn you onto the best food, art, shops, services, and people in the County of Kings.” BB contributor Rachael Rakes is the curator of their new film series, Drinks on the Doc, which brings the best nonfiction to one of the borough’s finest new establishments, The Bell House.

This week’s installment takes place on Thursday, May 28th, and features one of our favorite docs of this young century, Margaret Brown’s The Order of Myths. If you can’t make it to The Bell House, don’t worry, the film is available on home video (buy it at Amazon). But if you are near Park Slope and Gowanus, check it out.

Michael Tully is an award-winning writer/director whose films have garnered widespread critical acclaim, his projects having premiered at some of the most renowned film festivals across the globe. He is also the former (and founding) editor of this site. In 2006, Michael's first feature, COCAINE ANGEL, chronicling a tragic week in the life of a young drug addict, world premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. The film immediately solidified the director as one of Filmmaker Magazine’s "25 New Faces of Independent Film,” a reputation that was reinforced a year later when his follow-up feature, SILVER JEW, a documentary capturing the late David Berman's rare musical performances in Tel Aviv, world-premiered at SXSW and landed distribution with cult indie-music label Drag City. In 2011, Michael wrote, directed, and starred in his third feature, SEPTIEN, which debuted at the 27th annual Sundance Film Festival before being acquired by IFC Films' Sundance Selects banner. A few years later, in 2014, Michael returned to Sundance with the world premiere of his fourth feature, PING PONG SUMMER, an ‘80s set coming-of-age tale that was quickly picked up for theatrical distribution by Gravitas Ventures. In 2018, Michael wrote and directed the dread-inducing genre film DON'T LEAVE HOME, which has been described as "Get Out with Catholic guilt in the Irish countryside" (IndieWire). The film premiered at SXSW and was subsequently acquired by Cranked Up Films and Shudder.
