One of our favorite movies from the third annual Inwood Film Festival back in 2018* was Michael Manese‘s “The Pleasure of Being Served.” Listen to Michael discussing his filmmaking with Aaron Simms, the Executive Producer of Inwood Art Works, in the On Air Artist Spotlight video below.
Screencap from On Air Artist Spotlight interview.
He is currently in production for his latest project, “Asian PersuAsian” – which is a recipient of Inwood Art Works Inwood Film Festival Filmmaker Fund.

*Michael spoke with the Gazette at the IFF3 in March 2018:
IG: It’s such a lovely movie! I loved that shot in the subway, she’s so tired she fell asleep on the other passenger’s shoulder. It really conveyed how hard she works, and in a beautiful, subtle way. And many other scenes as well… sending money & little gifts home, the sneaker showdown. So how’d you come to tell this wonderful story?
