About Project

Penne Alla Vodka is America's dirty little secret. You can have it hungover from the diner, or for 40 bucks a plate at the finest restaurants. While it's secret origin might surprise you, it's sordid history will baffle you, which is why two best friends decided to deep dive into what's lovingly called "disco sauce" and discover it's secret powers that polarize the culinary world like no other dish.

Grilling celeb chefs, exploring NYC's best markets, having it analyzed by scientists, even sourcing illegal ingredients for this ridiculous dish is no match for these two cooking cousins who will, once and for all, put an end to the debate of what Penne Alla Vodka should be.

This is more then just a dish, it's a metaphor for society as a whole. Have we gone food crazy? Yes. Will we ever be satisfied? Never.

Director Statement
I've always been passionate about making amazing, fun content about the things we unknowingly love. Dedicating a life to travel and documentary, I've had the honor to tell dozens of unique and beautiful stories through my lens. I truly love handcrafting these films, producing, shooting, and editing them on my own terms, so that a unique perspective can always ring true. This, the latest of of my absurd work, will hopefully leave you full, but craving just a bite more.
