That's all I wanted to do. -Steve Buscemi (Creator, Writer, Director, Actor, Trees Lounge)Steve was just real life. There was no bullshit or gimmicks or any of that. He created something real and beautiful. -David Chase (Creator, The Sopranos)In 1996, Steve Buscemi wrote, directed, and starred in one of the most honest, fearless independent films ever made. Shot in just 24 days on a super low budget, Trees Lounge became a beloved indie cult classic. I wanted to know how Buscemi did it, so I started asking questions. The result is this oral history. It features all-new interviews with the cast and crew-including Steve Buscemi, ChloSevigny, Mark Boone Junior and Carol Kane-telling the story of how Trees Lounge came to life and why it continues to resonate with audiences today. So pull up a stool, go behind the bar and hear the stories of how it all happened.Em Marinelli (they/them) is a genderqueer Virgo, psychotherapist, and professor.
