Adapted from Joe Pintauro’s stage play, the film is being shown as part of the festival’s “West Side Highway” Shorts Programme, and centers around – according to press materials – “Star (Bernhard) and Betty (Huffman), “ friends who “scrapped together an existence in the same off-off-Broadway theatre company” in their earlier years. The film takes places years later when “Star has a Golden Globe and Betty has…a denture commercial. The pair reunites at Manhattan’s latest trendy hotel bar, what begins as a catfight turns into an existential crisis that leaves both women shaken to their cores.” Below, Bernhard, director David Brind and Huffman are seen following a screening of “Twenty Dollar Drinks” at the Tribeca Film Festival.
