New York writer / director / artist Dean Dempsey is as fascinating as his undiscovered films - which makes it our true privilege to both interview him and give a proper release to Dean's masterful features, CANDY APPLE and DEADMAN'S BARSTOOL. Dean's films embody the randomness and charm of the Big Apple, shining a light on the characters in his life (some real, some fictional) and adding another chapter to the rich sub-genre of "punk rock cinema."
